Grape Mural

Last week on Tuesday we took our grape mural to set it up at the Grape Festival. The

work consisted of many hard hours among the members, parents, and our Ag teachers.

We are grateful for all those members who helped with the set up. The chapter couldnt

have done it without the help of you guys. Let me tell you guys that our mural was

looking great and placed 1st in the category of best theme used.

Opening and closing

Opening and closing will be held on September 27 at the San Joaquin fair grounds. It's

our first speaking competition of the year. If you are not on a team for this one please

make sure to get involved in the next available speaking competition.

Third Grade Field Day

Third grade field day is to be held on September 22nd between 2nd and 4th

period. Third graders will come to the Lodi High school farm where volunteers from

within the chapter will teach them about different animals or will lead them to each

station. The opportunity to sign up to be a volunteer has passed but if you would like to

participate be sure to sign up next year. For those of you who are volunteering please

where a Lodi FFA shirt, appropriate pants and shoes, bring snacks and water because you

will be outside, and be on your best behavior. Remember we are teaching third graders

volunteered.
