National FFA Week is Feb. 23 to Feb. 27. On Friday, the 27th, FFA will be holding its annual “Tractor Day.” Tractor Day consists of Atlantic High School students driving tractors to school. The group of students participating will meet at Walmart at 7:00 a.m. and then depart at around 7:30 to go to the high school. The tractors will have a designated area in the high school parking lot to park in until they leave the school and head for the Heritage House, Alan’s Place, and Atlantic Specialty Care. You can ask FFA Advisor Eric Miller for more information or questions.

Jacquelyn Freund is the business manager for AHS Needle as well as a writer. “I really like going to all the businesses and organizing,” she says, which has suited her well as she intends to pursue a career in accounting. But of course, she’s not all business. “I always loved writing stories, and I really wanted to continue that.”
Freund also has aspirations beyond journalism. She hopes to one day go to the University of Nebraska Omaha to be an accountant, and said, “I will have to be good at networking with a lot of people and talking to clients, and this will help me talk to clients.” In her free time, she likes to sew, and she recently finished a large quilt in the style of those used by escaping slaves on the Underground Railroad. She is employed at Milk Unlimited, where she is an assistant to the manager. She also cleans her family’s office and works at a local grocery store in the spring, along with babysitting. She was recently inducted into NHS and participates in 4-H, FFA, and archery.
