From February 19th through February 26th the Vinton-Shellsburg FFA Chapter and many others celebrated National FFA Week. The chapter put together a full week of fun activities for both members and the whole school to do, there was a dress-up day for each school day of the week.

On Monday, members delivered cookies to local businesses that have shown support to the chapter throughout the years. On Tuesday, the chapter planned a member breakfast and had a dress up theme of twin day. Due to some bad weather, school was canceled and members were able to move their breakfast to Wednesday. Also on Wednesday, members traveled to Waterloo and competed in the Sub-Districts Competition, along with their breakfast there was a dress up theme for those that did not attend the Sub-District competition to wear their blue and gold apparel. On Thursday, members had the dress up theme to dress like a farmer. On Friday the FFA members hosted a teachers breakfast to show our appreciation for everything they do and for allowing members to travel occasionally during the school days. The theme for Friday was USA day along and the chapter hosted an assembly for the whole school to attend.

During the assembly, members were recognized for their outstanding work in their competitions that occurred on Wednesday. Along with this, the chapter hosted a few different activities for members to attend. There was butter sculpting, an obstacle course, bag races, and roping. Senior, Jozee White said, "the assembly was pretty cool, especially the videos of people falling. As a member of the audience, it made everyone feel like they could join in the fun even if they weren't a member."

Even with the crazy week the chapter really enjoyed their week.
