Our Wylie Show and Sale Barn Clean-up is coming up on March 22nd at 5 pm. All members who intend to show at the WSS are expected to participate. We will work until the barn is clean, organized, and in top condition for our buyers. If you do not volunteer, you will forfeit your eligibility to show at Wylie Show and Sale.

Recruiting new members is an important part of running a successful FFA chapter. Every year the junior high schools host an endorsement fair where clubs and organizations set up booths to educate the 8th graders. Ava Coull, Daphnee Schlittler, Drew Erickson, Eryn Copeland, Riley Youngers, and Zoey Serapin were given the privilege of running the Wylie FFA both at Cooper Junior High and McMillan Junior High. They set up a wonderful booth and educated hundreds of students about agriculture!
