Each year, FFA has a program called “Blue Jacket Program.” They award a number of jackets to each chapter based on their enrollment of the past year. All freshmen have the opportunity to apply. The jacket program is supported by people who donated money to pay for the jackets. The applicants must write an essay about what they like about FFA, why they joined and what they like about their chapter. Seventeen students applied this year from the Sanborn Central/Woonsocket Chapter. Three students received the blue jacket award. They received a jacket with their name on it and a tie for free (that is about $80). They must then write a thank you note to the person that paid for their jacket. In the Sanborn Central/Woonsocket FFA Chapter, the jackets went to Bryce Larson and Alex Schelske, both of Sanborn Central School, and Emilie Lindgren, of Woonsocket School.
