BLACKWELL FFA
SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
August at a Glance!
As the back to school blues was crashing over the Blackwell students, Mr. Barnett gave his students their first project of the year. They were to pick a tool in the shop and present it with ways on how to be safe while using that tool. Carson Sorrells began his supervised agriculture experience, commonly known as SAE. Finally, Blackwell's freshman spent a few hours at Hermleigh High School learning what FFA has to offer.

Everyone is just so excited to be back
Safety First!
Brendan presents his safety rules
From Pickles to Pumpkins!
Carson has spent months preparing, growing, and picking his garden. He keeps accurate records and inputs them into his record books in hopes of getting his Lone Star Degree. You can catch Carson on Saturdays beside The Corner Grocery selling all his produce; from pickles to pumpkins.
Upcoming
With the approach of the Halloween carnival, it is time to begin our fall projects. Students must find something to build, make a blueprint, and present it to Mr. Barnett. After getting it approved and ready, students must take a Shop Safety quiz and make a 100 before working in the shop.
