Last night, Higbee FFA members prepared their country hams for the upcoming Randolph County Fair! Members took their hams down from curing, brushed off the excess salt and seasonings, and carefully trimmed the hock and face of each ham to get them exhibition ready. The hams will be judged on Monday, July 20 for the opportunity to earn a spot in the Exhibitor Auction on Friday, July 24 at 6:30 p.m. We wish all of our members the best of luck!
A special thank you to Leslie and Charlie Rosenkrans and Amy Perkins for sharing their time and expertise to help our members throughout the process.
The Randolph County Fair schedule is attached. Be sure to come out and support Higbee FFA as our members participate in a variety of events throughout the week. We hope to see you there! GO TIGERS!

After 32 amazing years of service, Mrs. Young is officially closing her classroom door and opening an exciting new chapter! From teaching sweet Pre-K milestone moments to conquering 8th-grade Pre-Algebra, she has truly done it all and impacted countless lives along the way.
If you ask her what she will miss the most, it is hands-down her wonderful coworkers and her students. Her absolute favorite memories are the full-circle moments, like being recognized by former students miles away from school, being proudly introduced to their families in public, and hearing how her famous math tricks are still helping them today in shop, science, and their careers. She has even had the unique joy of teaching alongside former students and teaching the children of past students!
Now, she is trading the lesson plans for travel maps and family celebrations! Mrs. Young is looking forward to hitting the road to visit Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Tennessee, as well as diving headfirst into wedding planning for possibly both of her daughters! ✈️💍
Mrs. Young, thank you for 32 years of dedication, patience, and love. We will miss you so much, and we wish you the absolute best on this next grand adventure! Please join us in wishing her a happy retirement in the comments below! 👇❤️
