Our students are now heading into the grant-writing phase, where they’ll be working to turn what they learned into real support for these organizations. Participating Organizations: • Camp Whitley • Whitley County Council on Aging • Giving Gardens • Humane Society of Whitley County • Whitley County Historical Society • Mission 25 • St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry • The Center • Warriors Dance Team • Whitley County Family YMCA • YMCA Youth Services Bureau

Starting Monday, we’re celebrating National FFA Week with a full week of FFA Spirit Days, so check out the flyer and join in by dressing up each day. It’s a fun way to show support for a program that means a lot to our school and community.
FFA got its start back in 1928, and Columbia City’s chapter has been part of that story almost from the beginning. Chartered in 1929, it’s the oldest active FFA chapter in Indiana and one of the very first in the state. Thanks to strong support from local alumni and the community (and great leadership at both the middle and high school levels), the program continues to be recognized for outstanding agricultural education.
Let’s have a great week celebrating FFA, leadership, and learning!

Students in Mrs. Fager’s 7th grade math classes were learning the Pythagorean Theorem in two fun ways. Honors classes worked on finding right triangles, while regular classes took on Mission: Impossible — Math Edition — dodging “laser beams” while solving problems around the room.
