Marcus FFA Booster Club

FFA Members, Why Are We Here?

To practice brotherhood, honor agricultural opportunities, and responsibilities, and develop those qualities of leadership, which an FFA member should possess.

Thank you for supporting our FFA students!

Marcus shares a livestock facility by the water treatment plant (on the south side of the Lewisville Lake dam) in old town Lewisville. It's a great place to take your youngsters one afternoon to see all the livestock these kids work on throughout the year.

Currently we have cattle, goats, and sheep out there. Soon we'll have little piglets out there, they are really cute! Piglets come late November, early December. We share this facility with Lewisville High School. The livestock barn usually stays full of animals throughout the school year and is a center of activity for our students. We have separate areas for cattle, sheep, goats and swine.

It is such a great program and my kids have gained so much from their experience. Marcus and Lewisville High Schools are the only two schools in LISD that offer and Agri Science program and the opportunity to raise a livestock project. We are very fortunate to have this program available to our students. We owe a great thanks to Mr. Gilbreath and Mrs. Welch for teaching our kids the value of hard work, responsiblity and leadership!!

The Marcus and Lewisville FFA chapters will be hosting a golf tournament on Monday, October 12th at Riverchase Country club in Coppell.

Information and registration sheet

The Marcus FFA recently held a Bottled Water Drive to benefit the victims of Hurricane Ike. Marcus collected over 4,500 bottles of water for the Red Cross!

FFA sponsor Jessica Welch stated that Marcus teachers, "Norma Sissney and Mary Kniffen's 1st period class won the FFA prize for collecting the most bottled water, as they collected 1,457 bottles. That is an amazing accomplishment! Thanks again for all who participated. I know it will be greatly appreciated!"
