🎉 A Big Shoutout to Verde Tech High School FFA! 🌟 Last night, the talented students from Verde Tech High School's FFA Program kicked off the board meeting in a truly patriotic way by leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. 🇺🇸 But they didn’t stop there! These future leaders in agricultural science amazed us by sharing all the incredible things they’re learning: 🐔 A live chicken and adorable guinea pigs stole the show! 🌱 Aquaponic plant samplings highlighted their innovative skills. 👔 Students proudly modeled their iconic FFA jackets, representing dedication and tradition. Their enthusiasm and hands-on learning remind us why supporting youth education in agriculture is so important. 🌾 Thank you, Verde Tech FFA, for inspiring us and showing how bright the future of agriculture can be! #VerdeTechFFA #FutureLeaders #AgricultureInAction #CommunityPride

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to express how thankful we are for our incredible Verde Tech community. Our students, families, teachers, and staff make our school a special place to learn, grow, and succeed. May your day be filled with warmth, joy, and delicious food! 🍁 Let's carry this spirit of gratitude and kindness into everything we do.

Hello Verde Tech Families... Tomorrow and Thurs, 10/9 and 10/10 will not have the Torro PM route running as we will be short drivers.

We apologize for this major inconvenience but thank you for your patience and understanding.

Good afternoon VTech families... I regret to inform you there will be no Torro PM coverage today.
