The Big Event - May 5, 2023

What is The Big Event?

The Big Event is a community service project where students in FFA at Boone High School will complete a variety of tasks throughout the Boone community.  Our goal is to "give back" and say thanks to the Boone community for their support.

Sign Up to Volunteer

All members of the Boone A&M FFA Chapter are encouraged to sign up as a volunteer.  Student volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and lunch. Additionally, parents, alumni, and school staff are needed to sign up as supervisors and site coordinators.
