2016 We Are FFA – Florin CA
The first National FFA Week was celebrated in 1948 (76 years ago!) when the National FFA Board of Directors designated a weeklong celebration for all things FFA. During this time, we also commemorate George Washington’s birthday, which falls on Feb. 22, and recognize his legacy and contributions to the agriculture industry.
There are lots of ways to recognize National FFA Week, including posting on social media and showing your gratitude to others. Take a look!

The week’s festivities are just getting started, so spread the word. To get members excited about what’s in store, share how you and your chapter plan to celebrate.
