Frank H. Peterson FFA Chapter

Hey guys, I was really wanting to get together to give you my news I person. It doesn't appear that is going to happen.
So, I wanted to tell you that I am going to be moving to Washington State as soon as our house sells. You know how much I miss my grandbabies.
Anyway, I have given my resignation to Mrs Mastromatto a few a weeks ago. I have still been taking care of the animals and such. They have already found someone to be your teacher. His name is Mr Jones and he is a very experienced teacher and actually started a vet assisting program where he is from in South Florida in 2005.
I definitely have mixed emotions because I love all of my students like my kids. I care for each of you as if you were my own. I will always be a text/phone call away. I will do my very best to be back for graduations.
Please do me one favor....
Do not treat Mr Jones like I was treated my first 2years. If you know, you know...
Always be respectful and listen before you speak.
Rules will change and things will not be the same but that doesn't mean bad. Different can be awesome if you are open to it. Please go into this year being the leaders that you are. Please be the positive during this change. The other students will follow your actions!
I am still around for advice, tutoring, etc. Please let's have a "going away" party or something before school starts. I want to give each of you a hug and personal well wishes.
I hope to see you all before school starts!
Love
Mrs Lee❤️❤️❤️

Anyone looking for some volunteer hours? If you have the time, this would rack up quick!

Here we go to the fair again. We were actually able to get in this morning. Livestock judging up first. Looking forward to being home some ribbons!

It was a long, but very rewarding day at the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair! These students did an amazing job and I am so proud. We came home with a total of 18 awards in teams and individual events. We competed and placed in every event.
Livestock judging-3rd place team
Poultry judging - 3rd place team and 3rd place individual
Consumer Choices- 1st and 2nd place teams and 1st , 2nd and 3rd place individuals.
Horticulture - 1st and 2nd place teams. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place individuals.
Forest judging - 1st and 2nd place teams. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place individuals.

This has been a super busy week! Teaching students how to bandage, getting students ready for the Greater Jacksonville Fair, getting our hay bale and booth decorated,then grooming! (Not to mention not having a planning period ) Sometimes I feel like a slacker, until the pictures show otherwise.

Congratulations are in order for these students passing their Agricultural Associate certification!

Today was another great day for new experiences. Students were shown a new breed, Irish Setter. I was amazed that none of my students had seen one even in a magazine. What a great example of the breed and a champ he was. Jojo is always a good supervisor!
We had a guest snake as a visitor, a veiled camelion and the squirrels gave me a run for my money.
Never a dull moment!

Day 2 of grooming starts out sssssmooth as can be!

Busy day for grooming! The word is getting out how fantastic these kids are at what they do!
Add a fire drill on top of all the chaos and you get a dog parade! ❤️
We also had some special visitors that needed a little pet therapy.

Well, we groom on Thursday and Fridays. We were so busy today that I only got random pictures. Freshmen learned how to feed big animals, feed worms and also groomed! Jojo also got some big lovins today, too!
Tomorrow is an even busier day. I will make sure that someone else besides me, takes pictures, 😂

Busy day! First FFA meeting of the year. 30 or more students present and excited about all the upcoming events, CDE's, fairs and more fairs!
Freshman class showing off during their presentations and learning about newly hatched chicks!
