Merry Christmas

Enjoy the blessed time with family and friends. We will see you in January!

A couple reminders: 

• Just a reminder that students should NOT open their canned food for another week. 
• Attached is the link to order agriculture t-shirts from our program: simplycowgirlbysn 
  • Our last three years of t-shirts are on the website and available to order. 
  • We are very thankful for Sara and Cattlegrounds Coffee for our custom t-shirts! A donation of the proceeds will go back to our program if you choose to order. Thank you again, Sara Neill!
• 2026 Bison Judging Opportunity at the National Western. If your child is interested, please let me know (I need written permission to participate in order to register them for the contest) and we can organize practices to prepare for this opportunity. Please see the attached PDF for more information on age divisions, prizes, etc. This is a great opportunity to add extracurricular value to your experience in Ag Ed at CCA and win scholarships :) 
• Ag Student Spotlight: 
  • Research shows that students who receive recognition and spotlight at school have a deeper connection and engagement in academics. Therefore, to honor and highlight each of the unique attributes and talents of students in our agricultural class we will be sharing a student spotlight every couple weeks during the school year. Each student will get to share their uniqueness! This will be featured in the middle school hallway Ag board and in PS. 
  • Meet our student spotlight, Brantley! 
• Spring 2026 Syllabus is attached. Please review: students will be responsible for returning a signed copy (by parent and student on January 13, 2026).
