A “Greenhand” is a first year member of any FFA Chapter. Gary FFA had 21 “Greenhands” this year in Ms. Shadix’ Principles of Agriculture classes.
The Greenhand year for a student is extremely important! Students begin their journey through FFA by learning about the opportunities, awards and scholarships they can work through by being “active members”- which means they participate in various activities like: Leadership Development Events, Career Development Events, Animal Projects, Ag Mechanics projects and much more!
We are excited about the future for these students through Gary FFA!










The Elementary Student Lighthouse Team participated in the 2nd Annual Gary Parade on Dec. 2 and in the Carthage Parade on Dec. 4. The float, decorated by Liza Woodfin, won 3rd place in the Carthage Parade. Way to go Liza!! Thank you to all the parents for letting your student participate in one or both parades. Without all of your support, events like this would not be such a success.
