FFA students find better use for legacy tobacco sticks Instead of selling the sticks to be used in the production of a crop they had decided to quit growing, Michaela Walker and Lisette Trejo came up with a more profitable idea: they could be used to make Primitive Art and then the FFA could sell the items. Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Shamarie Claiborne While cleaning out the Adair County High School Agriculture Departments barn early this year students came across their old tobacco sticks. Since our campus has now become tobacco free and the crop is no longer grown on the grounds the familiar items were no longer needed. The big question became what to do with them. Mr. Hancock had mentioned to the kids maybe they could put them online and sell them. But two FFA students had a better idea. Michaela Walker and Lisette Trejo told him they could be used to make Primitive Art and then the FFA could sell the items. \What a perfect way to reuse the tobacco sticks and make money for the department. The FFA students have run with the idea and they now have created a full catalog of items from the old tobacco sticks and chalk boards that were removed from the two old schools. They make both large and small Stars, Ladders of all sizes, Christmas Trees, Chalkboards from CWC or JAIS, Easels, Coat Racks, Windows, Flags, Plain Tables, Flag Tables, and Flower Pot Chairs. They are all wonderful and prices range from $10 dollars to $40 dollars. Personally, I got a Flag and love it! They will have their items available at their booth during Christmas in Columbia on December 7, 2013. - Shamarie Claiborne This story was posted on 2013-11-22 13:51:19
