Each year, FFA Chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The letters "FFA" stand for Future Farmers of America. FFA Week provides FFA Members the opportunity to raise awareness of the role that FFA plays in developing future agriculturalists, as well as the importance of agricultural education. 

FFA is a dynamic youth organization that changes lives and prepares members for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. FFA develops members' potential and helps them discover their talent through hands-on experiences, which give members the tools to achieve real-world success. Members are future chemists, veterinarians, government officials, entrepreneurs, bankers, international business leaders, teachers, farmers, and premier professionals in many career fields.

Ms. Hernandez has planned many fun and educational activities for students across campus to enjoy! For more information, email at ghernandez@gladesdayschool.com.
