To many students, the ride to school usually involves the requirement of driving themselves by car, or having their parents drop them off. But last Friday, March 22nd, the Atlantic FFA members were given the opportunity to ride to school in a different style. This “style” was a part of the annual Tractor Ride to School Day that the Atlantic FFA Chapter conducts every year during the spring. Members who participated met together at the Walmart located approximately 1 mile away from the High School. From there, they drove to the High School all together in a large line.

This year, 11 members took place in the event. Nathan Behrends, former vice president of the FFA chapter, felt that, “It was a great day, I’ve enjoyed doing tractor day all four years of high school.” The following is the list of members who participated in tractor day: Tyler Comes, Nathan Behrends, Zade Niklasen, Connor Pellett, Katie York, who drove a tractor supplied by Nathan Behrends; Dillon Shepherd, Steele McLaren, who drove a tractor supplied by John Becker; Noah Vandevanter, Craig Alan Becker, Wyatt Redinbaugh, and Cooper Jipsen.
