The FFA chapter at Kenedy High School will celebrate National FFA Week Feb. 17-23 with a variety of activities.

This year’s theme is 'Grow'. It celebrates more than 80 years of FFA traditions while eagerly anticipating the organization’s future.

More than 550,000 members nationwide will participate in National FFA Week activities at local, state and national levels. These members come from rural, suburban and urban environments and are interested in the diversity of careers within agriculture.

FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural education and hands‐on learning, they are preparing for the more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry, organization officials said.

National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company as a special project of the National FFA Foundation and annually encompasses Feb. 22, George Washington’s birthday.

Kenedy FFA will celebrate this week by daily visits to each classroom of the jr. high and high school. Officers and members will be spreading information about FFA and how students can become more involved.
