FFA at National Convention

The FFA floral team received a silver national award this past week at the National FFA Convention!!! Members of the team were Michelle Aoi, Jesica Lowe, Cara Pantone and Alexis Murphy(replacing Kylee Stein). Way To Go Lady! Kudos to Mrs. Lewis!!!

Other FFA members had the opportunity to travel along for a week full of industrial tours, the national convention events and a Steelers game. An opportunity they will never forget.

Indian Pride is going strong!!!

The showcase has been filled and pride tickets can be redeemed each Thursday. Students will be rewarded for going above and beyond. Prizes will be added to, changed out and we are always open to suggestions.
Great examples of showing Indian Pride is breaking up an argument, bringing an innovative ideas to a staff members attention or doing a great deed without being asked.

Be Proud to Be an Indian!
