A handful of Dolores High School Future Farmers of America students drove to school in style this week.

FFA students celebrated FFA week by riding in on their tractors Tuesday morning.

Younger students got to climb on and inspect the big machines on Tuesday. When school got out, FFA students slowly rode home..

FFA week continued Wednesday with America Day and a Fear Factor assembly, which included eating gross things.

On Thursday, FFA students plan to dress in pink for Tough Enough to Wear Pink Day, and to read to younger kids about agriculture. On Friday, students wrap up FFA week with Lumberjack Day, and a tough man competition at lunch.
