In celebration of Constitution Day, our Juniors and Seniors were each given their own copy of the Constitution and took a deep dive into the meaning of each phrase and how it relates to our lives in 2024. Additionally, students read the Preamble and gave a quick history on the creation and importance of the US Constitution during the morning announcements.

Jr. FFA dues will be collected ONLY at the October FFA Meeting on Monday October 21st at 6PM in the High School Cafeteria.
Dues will be $7 and cover Jr. FFA members for the entire 2024-2025 school year. Any Elementary or Junior High student who wishes to be apart of Smithville FFA in order to show will need to pay dues.
Dues will be collected in the form of cash or checks payable to Smithville FFA.
My apologies for those who were told dues would be $5, the state has a set price of $7 so that is all we will require.

Even Seniors are not too old to watch School House Rock! Senior History classes learned about the goals of the Preamble today, and began their dive into the Founding Fathers’ intention with historical documents.
