Howdy AMP families and students, The following are important events and happenings for the week of September 13th. Upcoming Events
2021-2022 James Madison FFA Dues One of the expectations for every AMP student is to be an active participant in the AMP. Active participation can be achieved by becoming a member of the James Madison FFA (the student leadership organization for AMP students) and participating in any of the literally 100+ FFA activities that will be offered this school year. FFA dues are $20.00 for the entire school year and can be paid (cash or check) in the AMP Administration office. With membership in the FFA, AMP students will have access to outstanding leadership and career development opportunities, supervised agricultural experiences, degrees, awards, and scholarships. FFA members will also receive a James Madison FFA commemorative t-shirt which will be available in October. James Madison FFA Chapter T-Shirt Sponsorship Opportunity The James Madison FFA is looking for t-shirt sponsors for our annual "chapter shirt". Our chapter shirts help to unite our members and build community, camaraderie, and pride amongst our members no matter the level of their involvement. Sponsoring this year's chapter shirt will get your business or family logo on the back of over 500 shirts worn by James Madison FFA members. For more information about this opportunity, please download the sponsorship information form attached to this post. North East Ag Fair Sponsorship Committee The North East Ag Fair Sponsorship Committee is looking for individuals to join us as we begin searching for sponsorships for the 2022 North East Ag Fair. Last year, we helped secure $20,000 worth of donations that went directly back to our students. We would love to grow that number, but need more volunteers to help us out. We meet briefly monthly between October and December to touch base. Outside of the meetings, we call/visit local businesses to find and secure sponsorships.

If you need more information, you may contact the chairpersons for this committee who are Heather Gafke and Katina Wright. Business and Family Sponsorship Opportunities
