Sami DeLey was the first recipient of the Bison award! This is an award that Mr. Cook started last year and it is represented by the Bison because the Bison is an animal that instinctively runs through a storm to get through it quicker. Miss DeLey jumped into Ag classes and FFA this year feet first and is doing a great job working through all the different components! Thank you, Sami, and congratulations!
