United FFA Annual banquet is being held Sunday May 7th, 2023 at the High school. Contact Mr. Gentry if you, your business or place of employment would be interested in sponsoring this years achievement banquet!
Students in Mr. Gentry's 8th grade intro to agriculture class wrapped up their Food Science unit with the "everything food science" lab. Students got to taste test varieties of the same type of food to determine differences in name brand vs. generic, develop new packaging and branding for eggs, test the effectiveness of their packaging, and determine aromas of food flavors.

Single served pop tarts, larger handle for syrupy, easier to hold root beer bottle with new label, resealable potato chip bag with built in napkin, rebranded Mountain Dew, and single serve rebranded "Stoffer" Mac n' cheese to showcase a few!
