FFA Labor Auction Over $7,000 was raised from this year’s labor and silent auctions at our FFA banquet.This money is used for alumni scholarships, awards, trip expenses, and other chapter needs. 10 student groups donated 8 hours of their time as labor in exchange to earn the chapter monetary donations to assist with the 2025-2026 school year.We would like to extend our gratitude to our auctioneer, Marty Osentoski and our generous buyers. Thank you to our Labor Auction supporters: John and Lisa McCain, Corey Braun, TAAZ Seed Sales - Tom and Anne Ziel, Brett McBride, Don and Donna Wheeler, Steve Krohn, Robert Haag, Paul and Celine Scaddan, and Kendal and Rosie Truemner.
