On Friday, in Tr. Zachery’s Agri-Science class, students put their FFA Official Dress knowledge to the test in an Official Dress Showdown! 🤠💙💛

Students recreated the 5 elements of FFA Official Dress using nothing but paper + tape, and the competition was fierce!

But let’s be honest… our Ag Owls clean up pretty well! 😉🐮🌾 What do you think? Did they nail the Official Dress look?
