The Sleepy Eye FFA members got a group picture with their 3rd grade pen pals from St. Mary’s. Members and third graders had got to play games and get to know each other.

The end of the year is a time to wrap up the Wee Deliver PALS Program for FFA members.  We had get-together events for both schools with their third grade buddies in Mid-May.

The Wee Deliver Program ended with a “My Favorites” activity and milk and cookies with their buddies. WEE DELIVER BUDDIES: When Everyone is Excited about Doing Excellent work Learning Is Very Enjoyable and Rewarding. By Understanding that Doing things in Duos Is Encouraging, we attain Success!

This program involved 59 FFA members writing letters to third-grade students at the Sleepy Eye Schools. The FFA truly appreciates the cooperation from all of the third-grade teachers: Mrs. Sittig and Mr. Sellner from Sleepy Eye Public, and Mrs. Mathiowetz from St. Mary’s.

The purpose of the program is to connect high school students with elementary students by writing letters back and forth over the year in order to get to know each other better, as well as to practice writing skills for the students. Through the Wee Deliver Program, FFA members have the opportunity to serve as role models for the elementary students while also creating friendships.
