Lion's Link #lionpride

What a great week it's been for our FFA members! Here’s a look at some of the highlights:

Area 8 Leadership Conference:
Our officer team continues to grow in confidence, teamwork, and leadership. They may not have taken home the Rituals title, but they are winners in our eyes and in our community! I can't wait to see what this team accomplishes this year!

T. Wayne Williams:
Our members had the opportunity to hear from National FFA Officer T. Wayne Williams. His message was simple but powerful: slow down, look around, and appreciate the people who love and support you. T. Wayne also spent time with our freshman class, bringing plenty of inspiration, energy, and fun as they begin their FFA journey.

Our upperclassmen are rocking and rolling in the shop! They are building, creating, problem-solving, and turning their ideas into some amazing projects! Some projects include a Chicken Tractor, Metal and Wood stands and some fun fall wood projects.

The year is just getting started, and I couldn't be more excited to see where Tuscumbia FFA goes from here!

Members don't forget the FFA meeting date has changed to Sept 30th. Please see flyer for details.

The mission of the Miller County R-III School District, in partnership with our students, parents, staff, and community, is to promote PRIDE and provide a quality education that inspires our students to be lifelong learners.

If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher and you do not have the required 36 college hours, you can do an online course that will allow you to get a substitute certificate. Here is the link to that course, and here is the link to the DESE web page that gives you more information about what you need to do to get a substitute certification.
