Teachers Kimberly Gorman and Tracy Underwood at FFA’s Donkey Basketball on Tuesday April. 12, 2023. This was the first time the FFA organization hosted Donkey Basketball as a fundraiser.

The FFA department will be hosting Donkey Basketball on Feb. 23, 2024 in the main gym.

To purchase a ticket for $7.00, find any FFA member in advance, or you can pay a visit to Mrs. Baron’s office to acquire your tickets.  The first game will be seniors vs. staff. The second game will be elementary vs. Jr. high.

The option for a trial run for Non-Livestock entry for Montgomery County or gaining traction to a small business will also be available to students. Each year FFA is only allowed two fundraisers, so there will also be a silent auction held in conjunction with Donkey Basketball. If you are interested in donating or participating in the silent auction, please contact Shelbie Hutchinson in Room 3317 or Jessica Smith in Room 3313.

NEW MANAGEMENT. Senior Bridgette Miranda, revises a gallery on the website on Oct 8, 2022. In May 2022, Stephen Green interviewed Miranda for a new position in staff, he was thinking of switching her from the boys sports editor to a photography editor, but he asked two questions for her to decide what she was going to end up with, therefore she chose the first one which led to her being a Web Editor in Chief. “The switch was really big, it was SUPER big and I didn’t think that I was gonna be running a whole bunch of people,” Miranda said. She realized that she had the knowledge to help out with her reporters even though in the beginning she thought she wasn’t gonna do enough to help out. “I thought I was just gonna sit around and do nothing, but I actually know how to read and fix stories, edit, help which makes me feel that’s the reason why he gave me the position and I honestly love it cause I was able to change the name and it’s like my journalism dream come true,” Miranda said.
