🐣 FFA & Seniors Pull Off Egg-cellent Prank on Mr. Hunter! 🐔
Today, our seniors & FFA members hatched a brilliant plan with a little humor — and a lot of feathers. They snuck into Principal Hunter’s office and left a surprise waiting: a few adorable baby chicks and a clever sign that read, “Just chicken in on you!”
Mr. Hunter took it like a champ (once he got over the clucking), and got a good laugh. It was all in good fun and true FFA spirit — a perfect blend of mischief and agriculture. 🧑🌾💛
We’re going to miss these creative seniors! 🐥🎓
