Week 7: National FFA Week!

Dine with a State Officer!

What a crazy week here at CASH celebrating National FFA Week! In the classroom we continued to work on woodshop projects, welding and plant science. The greenhouse is getting fuller and fuller as our geraniums, tomatoes, peppers and marigolds grow! While we stayed busy in the classroom, shop and greenhouse, the exciting and busy part of the week happened after 3:45!

Pie for the teachers!

Each day this week we had a theme for clothing and an after school activity that many members of the FFA participated in! To start off on Monday we had "dress like a farmer day" and Lip Sync practice after school. Here at Conneaut, the school hosts a lip syncing competition as a fundraiser.

The FFA chapter put together a group and we are working on getting our singing, dancing and pedal tractor routine perfected!

Tuesday was Official Dress day and in the evening we drove to Meadville to eat dinner at Hoss's with the FFA State President Katie McLaughlin! It was great to see other FFA members, advisors and even a student teacher from this area all come together!

Volleyball!

Wednesday we wore our FFA T-shirts and had the chance to show our appreciation for the faculty here at Conneaut Area Senior High. After school, the FFA member serve cherry pie and ice cream to the teachers to thank them for all of their support throughout the year!

Thursday we wore a shirt from our favorite college! I of course represented Penn State and was excited to see so many students representing the blue and white too! (We won't talk about the ones that wore Ohio State!) After school we got together to work on our "She Think's My Tractor's Sexy" lip sync routine then headed to the gym for some intense games of
volleyball.Thursday was a fun day too because Ms Deanna Miller came to visit for the day to see that CASH was all about!

Bowling!

On Friday we wore shirts that represented Agriculture related companies! In the evening we rented out the local bowling ally and had the chance to spend a few hours laughing, hanging out and bowling with many FFA members. I have to say that I did kick some butt at bowling!

Selfie Contest!

All week long there was also a selfie challenge going on! Students had a different theme for each day and at the end of the week we picked a winner that had the best selfie 3 out of the 5 days! The winner got $25 and we had some awesome candy bars for honorable mention! Throughout the week we also had our spring fundraiser going on. Students were going around to family, friends and neighbors selling pizza, pretzels, flowers and much more!

Even though this week was crazy busy and I was totally exhausted by the end of it, it was incredible!
This week showed me how blessed I am to have the opportunity to work with great teachers and amazing students! There are only 8 weeks of student teaching left and I have to say, It's gonna be hard to leave CASH!!
