South Lewis FFA students are on the move and headed west for the 95th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis this week. If you don't know a lot about this organization, know this: it's all about growing the next generation of leaders. We, here at South Lewis, are often in awe of this group of young people. We truly believe that they are working "For the Future For All."
Following are a few shots of the kids giving "thumbs up" to the sights of Washington, D.C. (Hey, I wonder how many of the leaders in DC were once FFA members?)

Thank you to all of our local firehouses and ambulance corps who came by and offered their time and instruction to the Elementary School's Fire Prevention Week event today! The students became familiar with the sights and sounds of not just the trucks, but the equipment and gear of the brave men and women who will show up in case of trouble. We learned about safe zones, staying low away from smoke, how different situations call for different responders, and that no matter who you need, you call 911. Thank you to all our volunteers and a special thanks to Charity Hoffert for orchestrating this wonderful event!
No we didn't get new school colors...its October -- which means its Breast Cancer Awareness month! Our Varsity Boys Soccer team decided to show their support with a pink-out game!
