The Ethan School District would like to give a shoutout to Farm Life Creamery for allowing National FCCLA students, Kate Graham and Jeralona Harkcom, the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser during their Cheesefest celebration. Kate and Jeralona qualified for the National FCCLA conference to be held in Washington, DC later this summer and are raising funds to help with the cost of their trip. Plan to come out, enjoy some great food and great entertainment while also helping support two of Ethan's amazing students. Mr. Hawkins
