• Each day there will also be a picture of “Flat Harold” around school for MS or HS students to find. Harold is a stuffed animal the FFA Officers have “adopted” and cared for since this summer. The first student to find it is to take a picture with it where they found it and bring it to the Ag Room for a prize. 
• Kiss a Pig – to end the pop tab drive, there is a bit of an incentive. Each teacher will have their name on a jar either in Mrs. Haase’s (MS) or Mrs. Walloch’s (HS). Students then can bring in pop tabs to vote for who will have to kiss the pig. The pig will not be real, so it will either be the model pig from the ag room or a stuffed animal. Jars will be taken and counted at the end of the day on Tuesday to figure out who will kiss the pig during farm Olympics.
