On November 4th, Sierra FFA took two teams to a welding contest at Yosemite High School. The goal for the competitors was to build a fire pit in six hours with certain rules and guidelines. It had been about 19 years since Sierra High had participated in any welding competitions. After all of the hard work, measuring, cutting and welding, the teams had high hopes of placing. However, little did Sierra know they would bring home 1st and 4th place. The 4th place team consisted of Russell Judd, Wyatt Gibson, Paige Beard and Nayliah Gibson as the team's assistant. This team won a brand new oxy acetylene torch set. The 1st place team consisted of Jackson and Riley Smith and Skyler Stevens. This team won a brand new miller welder. Though Sierra knew that they did not have the newest or best equipment, all they needed was a little bit of teamwork and ended up coming home with around 1,600 dollars worth of prizes. Our Sierra welders look forward to competing in the upcoming welding contests.

This year on November 5th, Sierra FFA hosted the annual one day woodcut at the High School Farm. Though, this year we did not have as many people as the last, the group managed to reach the desired goal of 10 cords of wood. Sierra gathered 25 students and 8 adults to help split, stack, and deliver the wood. All students that attended received booster support for working, whether it was towards their SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience) project, welding materials or their very first FFA jacket. A huge thanks to everyone that donated their time and effort into helping Sierra FFA reach their goal for this woodcut.
