Junker Vehicle Day:
Honoring the beat-up, run-down tradition of the farm, FFA students can bring a vehicle on Wednesday morning for the “Junker Vehicle Contest.” A trophy is awarded to the winner at the annual FFA Banquet.

Tractor Cade:
Thursday morning students will drive tractors to school. A parade of tractors will be held before and after school.  Pierce FFA Alumni members are welcome to parade with the members but must follow the same rules as members.

Faculty & Business Appreciation Breakfast:
On Friday morning, Pierce businesses and faculty members are invited to a breakfast hosted by the Junior and Senior FFA officer teams.

Farmer Olympics:
If the school raises at least $350 for Money for Miracles by the end of the week, classes will get out early on Friday afternoon for Farmer Olympics. Dress-up winners from each grade will be selected to participate in the relay like farm activities.  Farmer Olympics consists of relay style games and tasks that one may experience on a farm.  Students from each grade level compete against each other, the junior officer team competes against the faculty and the senior FFA officer team competes against the celebrity FFA alumni members.
