COVID-19 has certainly changed the way people conduct their daily lives, and Waukon High School’s Little Switzerland FFA Chapter Advisor Jessica O’Connor says her FFA chapter is no different, having also had to change the way it operates while continuing to challenge chapter members and make them more resilient. COVID-19 has made it so her chapter has to conduct fundraisers in a manner that is safe for both its members and its supporters.
Within that realm, this year’s FFA fruit sales format will be different than in the past. Little Switzerland FFA Chapter members will once again be selling fruit from October 5-28, but in a variety of different formats with health and safety in mind, with delivery still occurring during the first week in December.
“While I believe it is important to teach our youth appropriate selling skills, this year, safety is most important for everyone involved,” O’Connor explained.
