Northview FFA Celebrates Annual Banquet

May 15, 2011

The Northview High School FFA held their 16th annual banquet  Friday night.

The event includes a somber ceremony for graduating seniors…they slowly remove their signature blue FFA jackets and hang them up for the last time on a coat rack. One at a time, the three graduating senior officers participated in the ceremony.  Allyson Bullard, Stephanie Solari and Allie Vidak removed their signature FFA blue jackets one by one, placing them on the coat rack.
