FFA Week #3 Photos

The last round of pictures from this year's FFA Week at SBA.  Congratulations to the FFA members for their hard work they put into making this week a success!  Can't wait to see what they come up with for next year.

Videos from FFA Week

The first video is a PTO safety video that recorded an equipment safety demo we did with the upper elementary students.  We used "Grant", a cowboy made out of plastic wrap by students.

The second video is a game we played at the FFA pep rally.  This was a "race" with a nice surprise at the end!
