Eight of Hereford FFA students gained advocacy skills at Texas FFA Day at the Capital in Austin. The group also worked at the animal shelter the same week, and focused on the FFA Code of Ethics and plenty of content learning in our classrooms. Hereford FFA students are living out the FFA Motto: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.

Hereford Lions Club recently donated $500 to the Hereford Food Pantry to help provide food and assistance to families in need.
