A longstanding tradition with United Local High School’s Future Farmers of America club (FFA) includes a Drive Your Tractor to School Day as part of the celebration of the National FFA Week. Sixteen students braved the cold Friday morning to highlight the vital role agriculture plays in their school community and in the world. United’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Club (FCCLA) took up the theme of Tractor Traffic Safety as a recent community service project. As part of their efforts, they donated Slow Moving Vehicle signs to everyone who drove their tractors to school. (Submitted photo)

Students from Pioneer Valley High School in Santa Maria dropped off letters of hope and support Monday as part of the Girls Love Mail Project.
The letters are for women recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Girls Love Mail is a charity-based organization in the Sacramento area that collects hand-written letters of encouragement and sends them out.
More than 100 students in the Family Career and Community Leaders of America Club dropped off letters. I think it was a really awesome way to encourage women who recently found out they re diagnosed with breast cancer, and I think it was an opportunity for people to write letters. It s very covid friendly since we don t have to interact with one another,â said high school senior Nicole Estrada.
