Dress Exchange
Hey ladies, do you have a lonely dress taking up space in your closet? Don't let that dress go to waste! Bring it to the Dress Exchange!
Green Team is collecting any and all dresses of dress-ups past. If you have a dress you no longer want, say, from previous proms, homecomings, or banquets, then bring it by Ms. Keo's room, K-204, so we can find it a new home! Likewise, if you're looking for a dress for prom or banquet, but you don't want to drop the money on yet another dress, come shopping in K204!

Sixteen teams from Wolfe City to Academy, TX came to compete for a chance to qualify for the State Tractor Tech Competition to be held at the Houston Stock Show in March. Only the top two teams from each FFA Area are invited to attend.

In addition, Andy was second overall, individually, and Kaleb was high individual in the Tractor Components section. Trevor Brunz was first overall in the Alternates division.
The FFA Tractor Technician Contest is a rigorous competition that puts contestants through a 100-qustion written exam, a 100-question components practicum, and a 30 minute challenge to find and repair 5 faults on a given tractor, get it to start/run, and safely and correctly navigate the tractor through the safety course.
The Weatherford FFA Advisors would like to sincerely thank all of the WHS staff for working with our students. Our program requires our students to keep a unique and diverse schedule, and you guys make that possible.
