WELCOME TO THE NEW AND IMPROVED AG FARM...The Friona High School FFA program was the recipient of improved animal sheds recently. JEM Services, LLC was enlisted by a group of investors to design and remodel the existing buildings at the Ag Farm east of Friona. The updates are providing protection from the elements and a place where the students can work with their animals. The students were also included in the construction. They are welding special gates and doors that will be installed at a later date. Pictured above are students, teachers, administrators and a board member, l-r, back row, FFA Instructor Kayle Jesko, FISD Board of Trustee Becky Reithmayer, FISD Superintendent Dr. Pam Ray, FFA Instructor Catie Roach, and FHS Principal Erika Montana; front row, l-r, Hadley White, Seth Murphree, Bryce Bunker, Samuel Frye, Gabbi Douglas, Marcos Juarez, Zeus Zamudio and Eduardo Juarez.
Town Talk
Got a call this week from David Brumley at Bootleg. He was thanking everyone that came out to help put out the fire that burned 125 acres but missed houses and winter hay due to their help.
It is great to live in a rural community. First responders and neighbors helped Brumley at his time of need. He said that people just kept showing up to help.
We live in a pretty awesome area!
