Donuts are in! If you have ordered, we have them sorted and are ready for pick up!

Tshirts - if you have ordered and have not gotten yours yet, please let us know. We got the rest of them in recently are still working through some of them.

04/29/2026

Orders due by NOON tomorrow (Thursday). Donuts will be in on the 6th.

This is our last fundraiser of the school year (I promise), one I was hesitant to even do, but the kids wanted donuts so the kids got donuts. 🤷‍♀️

Our goal is 300 boxes. Orders and money are due April 30th, so a pretty short sale. Also, I know someone will ask, because I am that person as well, no, we do not have chocolate burgers AKA chocolate iced kreme filled as an option, they do not offer that for fundraisers.

Orders should be back the first week of May with a solid date to be determined.

As always, thank you for supporting our kids and the ag program! 🥰

P.S. if you ordered a t-shirt, those should be getting finished soon and someone will be in toug

We will have a VERY SMALL plant sale this Thursday-Saturday.

Selection is very limited. We have an abundance of Roma's and basil. Aside from that, not a ton of plants.

Plant options from memory:
Sweet banana peppers
Early jalapenos
California wonder bell peppers
Kohlrabi (never planted prior, we have a ridiculous amount of trays, needed to use the seed)
Romas
Sweet basil
A few beefsteaks
No Cherokee purple 😭
Yellow squash (not sure the specifics on this but thinking it's straight neck)
Marketmore cucumbers
Straight 8 cucumbers
Another type of cucumber
Maybe a six pack of zinnias, maybe.
Unlabeled tomatoes and peppers

Forgetting some others, but not sure what.

Fill a flat for $15

This girl right here, Adalynn Hair. She has certainly made us proud this year. She got her state degree, a $500 scholarship and placed 4th in the State at Employment Skills, plus competed in ENR! She had a very busy few days.

For those that do not know what that employment skills contest involves, the student picks a job, creates a cover letter and resume, fills out an application and "interviews" for that job, does a follow up letter, and they have a phone call job offer negotiation. It's a lot to judge, very time consuming, but they leave with invaluable skills they will use in real life.

Adalynn has competed in this for 3 years, each year making it farther. This year she advanced to state, the first of my kids in the Womac era to do so. There is absolutely no way she would've made it this far if it weren't for people in the community so here are some people we would like to thank, and I know I've left some off so I apologize in advance!

Mrs. Colbaugh, English department, for helping with the cover letter and resume grammar, as you can see, we need the help there.

Barry Queen, Andy Burchfield, Halen Housley, Shane Williams, Cassie Brown, Angelo Giansante, Tanner Plemons, Melissa Fugate all of you gave great advice and feedback from interviews. Thank you so much!

Last, but definitely not least, Mrs. Elizabeth Pierce. You have been amazing to work with, provided great feedback, advice, and encouragement to her and myself, we appreciate you taking time out of several days to do phone calls. You're a good one!

To everyone else, thank you for supporting our girl and this program throughout the years, we absolutely could not do it without you!

Much love,
Mrs. Womac 💙💛

16. That's the number of students that got to experience State Convention this year. Some for the first time, others for the last. Either way, it was a phenomenal group of kids! They competed in 6 different competitions on 3 different days, made and saw friends, listened to some great sessions, and most importantly, if you ask Cody, made a trip to the Donut Friar. We all had a blast, but we are glad to be home!

Contest Results:
🎉Employment Skills - 4th in the state
🎉Food Science - 18th in the state, Cody placed 1st in the region and 21st in the state, we were 3rd in the region (lacking 4 points from winning region)
🎉Environment and Natural Resources - 13th in the state, 2nd in region with Adalynn placing 46th overall
🎉Farm Business - pending
🎉Quiz Bowl - 91st (still weren't last)
🎉 Milk Quality - 45th overall, but we beat Central and that's what matters 😉

Peep some of our photos from the week.
