Bowling Green FFA celebrated the season of giving and sharing with its activities in December.
The chapter supported the Dear Santa Society in a multitude of ways. The officer team shopped to help provide Christmas gifts for a family adopted by the chapter. Extra fruit from the FFA fundraiser was also sorted and delivered to the families of the Dear Santa Society. Members also helped to wrap presents and store all the items in the Ag Department to be delivered to families.
To continue the giving spirit, the freshman classes put together candy cane reindeer which were delivered to three local nursing homes to help spread the holiday cheer. FFA members also collected more than 200 rolls of wrapping paper to donate to Thayer’s Christmas Dreams program.
Chapter president, Addie Naus, conducted her passion project by putting collection boxes at the high school, middle school, and all of the elementary schools. Her project was to collect new toys and donate them to the Toys for Tots through the Salvation Army and WTVG 13abc “Hope for the Holidays” project. In total, she collected 345 toys for Wood County families.
The chapter held a holiday gathering to wrap up the first semester. The officer team decorated the Ag Department to spread holiday cheer. Members were invited to watch a movie, enjoy a hot chocolate bar, decorate and eat cookies, play games, and participate in some arts and crafts.
The Bowling Green Agricultural Education Department is a satellite program of Penta Career Center.
