Pella FFA is hosting a pie auction to raise funds for a “Portable Animal Learning Academy” (PALA). The auction will take place at 6:30 pm Tuesday in the Pella High School cafeteria. A meal of pork loin, mashed potatoes, bacon macaroni and cheese, along with green beans will be provided during the auction. Auction registration will start at 6:15 pm in the cafeteria. This year’s auction donations will be used to purchase supplies for a Portable Animal Learning Academy (PALA). The PALA will provide the opportunity for a hands-on learning environment in animal science. A PALA will provide safe facilities to bring livestock into the agricultural classroom. Following the auction and meal Tuesday, an awards ceremony will take place until 8:30 pm in the high school auditorium to recognize the achievements of FFA members over the past year. Some highlights will include recognizing the 2018 State Champion Horse judging team, recognizing their state FFA officer, and more. Those wanting to attend should RSVP ahead of time.

RSVP to ella.jahner@student.pella.k12.ia.us so alumni are able to get an accurate headcount for the meal. Those unable to attend this year’s auction or would like to donate to the purchase of the PALA, can send it to Pella FFA, 212 E. University St, Pella, IA 50219.
