Many activities were planned to raise awareness about the National FFA Organization and the role it plays in the development of the agriculture industry s future leaders and the importance of agricultural education. The week-long tradition started in 1948. Each year, National FFA Week runs Saturday to Saturday, encompassing President George Washington s Feb. 22nd birthday in recognition of Washington s legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. FFA was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Its mission is to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. Since the founding members the organization has taught generations that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting it involves science, business and much more. Today, FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet new agricultural challenges by helping members develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of career pathways. Members prepare for careers as biologists, chemists, veterinarians, engineers and entrepreneurs. The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 610,240 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,665 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. During FFA week the BF- DC FFA Officer Team at- tended the KECO radio show, the officers were able to promote the organization that has helped shape their lives. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The BF-DC FFA competed at the southwest district stock show in Chickasha. Landon Ringo and Jarrett Selman exhibited their show projects. Landon was named champion shorthorn market steer and Jarrett placed 1 st in his commercial heifer class and garnered the coveted super showman award. On February 23, 2015 the BF-DC FFA exhibited at the Washita County Junior Livestock show.

Baseball, softball, track and golf will soon be underway. Spring also means State Testing. Please work with your child s teacher in the final push toward success on these tests.

But honestly, you should not worry too much. If you want to ask the girl out, go ask her out. But don t be the guy who didn t ask her out because you were too nervous. Who knows, maybe the girl likes you and is nervous about asking you out as well. Next time you see her, just go for it. Say Geronimo man. Climbing hurdles of nerves, Birdie Hidden Eagle Somewhere in the newspaper is a hidden Eagle that looks like this one but maybe a little bigger or a little smaller. Everyone that finds the Eagles can put their name and the location of the Eagle on a piece of paper and place it in the Ask Birdie box in the library. One correct answer will be drawn for a free drink. Stop by the library and see Mrs. Lee for your free soda. Dylan Johnson
