Essex National FFA Week

Last week was a great week for the Essex FFA Chapter celebrating National FFA Week. On Tuesday students and staff dressed like a farmer; Wednesday was Drive Your Tractor to School Day; Thursday people dug out their favorite hat for Pay a $1 to Wear a Hat Day; and Friday people showed their FFA pride by wearing Blue and Gold. The Chapter also sponsored a Farmer Appreciation Breakfast Saturday morning.  Pictured are, from left . . .
