On Dec. 8, approximately 100 people, most of them students, spent the morning putting Sobrato High School’s Future Farmers of America farm facility into working order. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., almost 80 students worked to create planter boxes for vegetable trials in partnership with local growers. They also landscaped the farm area, did routine maintenance on the facilities, and planned future facilities.
Sobrato sophomore Christina Cefalu, 15, said she enjoys being a part of FFA for a number of reasons. ‘It’s not only that you get involved with animals and with the community, but you meet so many people, and it’s a great leadership experience,’she said. ‘You learn so many new things, things that can make a difference in your future and in the community.’
