It's Much More Than Plows & Cows!
Over the past century FFA has gone from young people being interested in farming to being excited about the innovations into the science of agricultural technology and solving the world's food insecurity issues. Some 70-thousand young FFA members are holding their 96th National Convention and Expo in Indianapolis through November 4th.
Our Whiteland FFA members enjoyed the kickoff concert featuring Lainey Wilson. They attended the general sessions and spent last night at Cinch’s World’s Toughest Rodeo! The four day event is expected to boost the Indianapolis economy by about $39 million dollars.
Warrior Way Service Project!
"This past Monday, Mr. Dostalik's Warrior Way class took a short trip to the Johnson County Early Learning Center to complete their annual service project. Students took this opportunity to plan five short activities to execute with their 25 students!
They learned a lot about the energy that young children have and enjoyed giving back to this group of fun students. This project was one step toward these students meeting their box 2 requirements toward graduation.
A big thanks to the Johnson County ELC for hosting our students!"
Happy Halloween from the WCHS Science and Music Department, Administration and Office Staff!
Huge Sectional Win!
Your Whiteland Warriors will host Terre Haute South, Friday Night!
