Tractors are on display near the USD 464 Administrative Center along U.S. Highway 24-40. The tractors signal that FFA Week has arrived, as students drove tractors to school Tuesday as part of the celebration.Tonganoxie FFA celebrated National FFA Week with its annual open house and auction on Tuesday, but festivities continue through Friday with spirit week themes.
Today is Dress Like Your Favorite Adviser Day at Tonganoxie High School, while Thursday is Wear Camp Day. On Friday, FFA members will be wearing chapter apparel in celebration of the final day of FFA Week.
Monday was Farmers Day Off. Students were encouraged to wear pajamas and doughnuts were served before school to chapter members.
