One definition found for the word community is "a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common." Another definition is "a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals." These words have never been as important as they are right now in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sunday evening, May 3, the members of the South Barber FFA chapter completed a few subtle tasks around Kiowa in an effort to show appreciation for all that the community does, not only for their agricultural education/FFA program, but the entire school system in general.
Amid the precautions, restrictions and recommendations surrounding COVID-19, members did their best to practice social distancing while they completed their tasks. Members broke into small groups and spanned out across town completing various jobs such as re-staining the wood benches that sit up and down Main Street, assisting local community members with the tilling and mulching of the community garden and weed-eating a couple of areas that had become slightly overgrown. All very simple tasks, but all were things that could be completed while still adhering to the local health guidelines. FFA members involved were Avery Grieve, Allie Hoch, Ruston Erickson, Lynzee Wilbur, Jaden Allen, Jessica Jahay, Lacee Wolf, Kutter Jewell, Zane Lyons, Chase Schmidt, Tyler Schupbach, Kate Perschbacher, Takira Blick and Cash Tomberlin.
