Congratulations to your Outstanding Fall IVVC students Ava Hane and AJ Spear!!

We have a few FFA events coming up next week! Dairy Foods/ Agronomy Career Development Event: Marengo High School is hosting this event on Wednesday, November 19th. We will leave right after school, and should be back around 8:30pm that evening at the High School. Students interested in competing in either Dairy Foods or Agronomy CDEs should communicate with Ms. Zoey Dye by Sunday (11/16). SAE Work Night: This event is for students who have livestock and/or a job related to agriculture. Students in FFA are encouraged to create a record book to keep track of their individual projects, better known as Supervised Agricultural Experiences! We are opening our doors from 3-7pm on Thursday, November 20th in Mrs. Tracey Sanderson's room at the High School for students and parents to learn more and get started! Wreath Decorating: We are looking for student help to decorate wreaths! HBR FFA will be selling wreaths, porch pots, and trees for the Holiday Season soon, and encourage our student members to participate in the process. Before the wreaths are ready to sell, they need festive decor! This is a great opportunity to get involved in community service and support your FFA Chapter. Join us from 3-7pm on Thursday November 20th in the Ag Shop. Check out our 2nd Quarter Newsletter for all other events happening before Winter Break!

Congratulations to the pictured students in Mrs. McCauley's Creative Writing class! They submitted 100-word stories to the Young Writers - Strangers Sagas writing contest and were selected to be featured in an upcoming publication!

Reminder - Fall Sports Awards tonight! See you in the high school cafeteria at 6pm!

Don't want all the Halloween Candy at your house?! Considering donating to "Treats for Troops" that benefits Operation Support Our Troops. We will be collecting any unwanted Halloween candy through Friday this week in the Main Office.

Halloween hit the halls of HBRHS today! We had some students win prizes for their efforts and staff having some spooky fun. What a fun way to spend a Friday!

Congratulations to Mrs. Sartori and our High School Band! Tonight they put on an amazing Halloween concert! So fun to see everyone dressed up!

Hinckley - Big Rock FFA had yet another day filled with Empowering experiences! This group attended student workshops, session, career & college expo, and enjoyed team bonding at Back 9 Golf! Even though we head home tomorrow, we will always remember the friends, memories, and opportunities made this week!

Hinckley - Big Rock FFA members are spending the week in Indianapolis for the 98th National FFA Convention! Yesterday, these students toured Purdue University's College of Agriculture, learning about the variety of majors and opportunities offered! Today and tomorrow, we are focusing on the Career & College Expo, along with the General Sessions, and workshops. As the theme for National Convention this year is Empower, we are challenging our students to find what empowers them this week, whether that's a workshop, career path, business, keynote speaker, or the general sessions!

REMINDER: Saturday is the last day to register for the Royal Jaunt and still receive this year's t-shirt and tomorrow is the last day for sponsor donations! You may still register for the race up until November 14th on Raceroster.com!
