We did a small community service event today named Popsicles and Pick-Up. We ate popsicles as we picked up trash around campus.

With temps feeling like it was in triple digits, the popsicles were badly needed!

🚜 DRIVE YOUR TRACTOR TO SCHOOL DAY! 🚜

Tomorrow, Thursday, September 3rd, Franklin-Simpson FFA is celebrating FFA Rush Week with our annual Drive Your Tractor to School Day! 💙💛

🚨 COMMUNITY HEADS-UP: Our FFA members will be driving their tractors to McDonald’s (north end of town) early tomorrow morning, coming from different directions throughout the community. Then, at approximately 7:00 AM, we will have our tractor parade from McDonald’s to Franklin-Simpson High School along N. Main Street. 🚜

If you’ll be on the roads in the area early tomorrow morning, please be on the lookout for our high school FFA members on tractors and give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

We are excited to celebrate FFA Rush Week with our members and appreciate our community’s continued support—and, most importantly, your commitment to keeping our students safe! 💙💛

Thank you for helping us make Drive Your Tractor to School Day a fun and SAFE FS FFA tradition! 🌾🚜

As we head into the new school year we would like to check in on our budding flowers from last year!

During the last few days of school, FFA members went to Franklin Elementary and met with kindergarten classrooms for our second annual Sunflower Sendoff. FFA members taught kindergarteners how sunflowers grow and develop by reading a book to them and sending each student home with their own sunflower!

Just as the class of 2038 have undoubtedly grown over the summer, their flowers have grown with them, and we are excited to see how much they've grown!

We would love for you to send us pictures in the comments of your kiddos and their sunflowers!

We enjoyed a pretty much perfect weather week at FFA LTC with a little rain on Friday but BIG news!

In the closing session, Cadence Henson was named as an Outstanding Leader! This is a distinction only the top 10% of the total numbers of campers receive and is the ONLY way to earn a State-Level Outstanding Leadership pin!

Additionally, FS FFA received a $500 grant from LTC to fund a service project taking place this year. Thanks to the generous funding provided by Carol Martin Gatton, we are able to put these funds to work in our community!

We are energized and looking forward to a GREAT year!
