Point System

The Purpose of the Point System:

The point system was established to enable the Penelope Ag Booster Club to raise the excessively large amount of money necessary to support the Penelope FFA Program.
Its sole purpose is to insure that the students, parents, guardians, and community help raise the funds that are distributed, as evenly and fairly as possible, to the FFA booster club students. These points will help students with the following: receive awards, qualify for add-ons/purchases at the Hill County Fair, and scholarships
It is believed that nothing in life is free and the FFA motto says it best:

Learning to Do
Doing to Learn
Earning to Live
Living to Serve
