This past Friday night, Hershey Public Schools celebrated a first! Ag Instructor and FFA Sponsor, Mr. Donavan Phoenix held a wonderful FFA kick-off night. The cafeteria was full of excited students and parents. The Lincoln County Cattlemen's Association, donated hamburger patties and also grilled them, Hershey State Bank provided water and Mr. Phoenix did a wonderful job with the organization of a new event and in presenting FFA curriculum components. The Hershey FFA Chapter also recognized Senator Mike Jacobson for his generous donation of two classroom sets of FFA jackets! On display, were Senator Jacobson's personal FFA jackets which he wore for his school chapter at Sutton and his National Officer jacket! This donation of jackets for our students will provide opportunities to compete and participate in various FFA competitions and events for years to come.
