National FFA Week.  For FFA week we will have a dress up day each day of the week.  Students can also pay $1 a day to wear a hat.  There will be a FFA member in the library before school starts each day to collect money and give students a sticker as an indication that they paid to wear a hat.  It is still up to the classroom teacher if they allow the hat to be worn in the classroom.  All clothing and hats must be school appropriate.  The dress-up days will be as follows:
Friday - Blue and Gold Day

Lunch today will be chicken patty and French fries.
