Gary High School Spanish 2 classes recently visited the Michelson Museum of Art in Marshall to observe a traditional "ofrenda" for the Day of the Dead. They learned more about the traditions associated with the Hispanic holiday "Día de los Muertos" and the meaning behind each item placed on the altar to celebrate the dead. While visiting the museum, the students were also able to look at the different art collections and complete an art work of their own.

Last Tuesday, Eleven Gary FFA Members traveled to the Longview Invitational Leadership Development Contest with FFA Advisor Jessica Shadix to compete against teams from across the State of Texas.
What are these events?
Leadership Development Events focus on creating situations for members to demonstrate their abilities in public speaking, decision making, communication and their knowledge of agriculture and the FFA Organization.
Teams Competing include:
Senior Creed Speaking; Senior Creed Speaking
Students must present the FFA Creed from memory and answer questions about its meaning and purpose. The event boosts self-confidence and develops their ability to communicate in a powerful, professional manner.

This contest is designed to inform the general public and consumers about the importance and value of the agriculture industry and how agriculture impacts human lives.

A team of 3-5 members performs an actual demonstration of an agricultural skill including anything in the Agricultural Science and Technology curriculum using effective public speaking and communication methods.
