FFA doing its part for Moose Madness |

FFA members are ready to put the boot to
Sandpoint. They are working in coalition with
the Leadership Class, Staff, and the rest of the
Student Body for Moose Madness. The whole school
is ready to win this year’s competitions!
Moose Madness is an annual competition between
Bonners Ferry High School and Sandpoint High
School dating back to December of 2008. There is
a moose rack that is painted on one side with
the blue and white Badger colors and on the
other side with the red and white Bulldog
colors, hence the term “Moose Madness.” When one
school emerges victorious they take home the
moose rack. This year Moose Madness is in the
Sandpoint gymnasium at 6:00 p.m. The event
includes a collection of games including
basketball, wrestling, the rope-pull, a stomp
routine, and more. Who will help us to “bring
back the rack?”
The FFA and the Bonners Ferry High School are
strongly pushing for the community’s support in
this year’s fundraiser. The Bonners Ferry
welding class made a decorative medal piece of
art that was raffled off at Saturday’s
basketball game. There is also a boy’s varsity
wrestling B-cup game Thursday, December 17 in
Sandpoint at 6:00 p.m. Moose Madness may be a
competition, but the main focus is to help our
veterans. They are giving all of the money that
is generated to the Wounded Warrior Project. The
Bonners Ferry High School along with the FFA is
proud to support their veterans. The FFA has a
long heritage of patriotism, and is all for
giving back to the community.
Although all of the generated money from both of
the high schools goes towards charity groups,
students still need to raise more money than
Sandpoint as a factor in winning Moose Madness.
This is the time that we as a community must
show our school and town spirit the most! Moose
Madness is coming up soon and it is going to be
fierce. The Moose Madness rivalry with Sandpoint
has made the students resolve to join together
as a community to defeat Sandpoint High School.
There are numerous jars in businesses around
town that people can donate to or drop money off
at the school. We must give it our all to win
the Moose Madness competition this year. Every
penny counts! |
