The past week was the last week of October, so of course that only meant one thing...scary movies! In the spirit of Halloween, we gathered in our formal room to watch popular horror movies together.

Surveys were given out in order to ascertain the student body's perception on agriculture and how it affects their life. A chalk board was set up with the title "Agriculture is..." and allowed students to fill in what they believed agriculture meant to them. A white board was near it that asked "How can agriculture ...

In the festive spirit of October, members of our chapter headed to a local pumpkin patch to take advantage of a special deal on pumpkins.There was one catch though...you had to take as many pumpkins as you could carry in your own hands. Our determined actives took on the challenge and worked together to bring home 33 pumpkins!
