“Not your grandpa’s FARM TRUCK anymore!” Over the past two years, the Howe FFA students have been learning how to apply their Ag Mechanic skills through a hands-on project truck! This 1959 Chevy truck was donated to the program by Middle School Teacher Paula Decker. It belonged to her late husband Ed. The students will be showcasing the truck at next week’s FFA banquet on Thursday, May 9 at 7 pm at The Warehouse. Howe Public Schools established their FFA program in 1950. In 1959 (the year model of this truck), 100% of all the boys in Howe HS were enrolled in Ag! Howe continues to have an-award winning FFA program, and this truck build is just one example of the numerous creative and exemplary projects under the advisement of Mr. James Marshall. Howe Superintendent, Mr. Scott Parks has also been assisting with this class over the past two years. Don’t miss this year’s banquet to learn more about this amazing project. #HPSLions #HoweFFA
