Appomattox Senior FFA kicks off Jacket Jubilee

The Appomattox Senior FFA chapter at Appomattox County High School is collecting financial donations to provide deserving members with their own FFA jackets. The day a new FFA member receives their jacket is like celebrating an inaugural event, similar to an "FFA birthday."

Each $120 sponsorship will provide one standard official FFA jacket, one official FFA tie or scarf, one FFA hanger, and a "Welcome to the FFA" package for each recipient and their classmates.

Appomattox FFA aims to select one member from each agriculture class to receive an FFA Jacket. The fundraising goal is to sponsor 18 FFA jackets. Undoubtedly, you are investing in the future of Appomattox County agriculture.

The FFA is accepting donations through http://appomattox-senior-ffa.square.site/ or checks payable to ACHS. Donors can send checks for full or partial scholarship packages to ACHS c/o Appomattox Senior FFA, 198 Evergreen Ave, Appomattox, VA 24522. Please put FFA Jacket Jubilee in the memo line.
