National FFA Week for 2022 runs February 19th through the 26th. A week FFA Chapters across the country celebrate everything FFA has to offer and the impact it has on its members and local communities. Monmouth-Roseville Senior and FFA Chapter President David Ramirez says there is something for everyone:
“You can come from anywhere and FFA has a place for you. You don’t necessarily have to come from a production family or a livestock family, you can come from anywhere. There are multiple ways you can impact in FFA. Like for me, we have Public Speaking coming up. I am writing a speech about the impact of immigrant workers in the ag industry, so there are definitely a lot of ways that you can impact no matter where you come from.”
The Monmouth-Roseville FFA and high school students will celebrate National FFA Week with dress-up days all week beginning Tuesday with Kilby Day, Wednesday is Farmer/Rancher Day, Thursday is American or Camo Day, and Friday is Official Dress or FFA Apparel Day.
