This includes all school activities (athletics, UIL, 4-H and FFA. We all pull from the same 10 days)

Projects Any project you want to enter/show will be supervised by Mr. Cleveland, whether it is built at school or home Projects must be the work of the student/s All projects shown must match the categories available at the show (I will help you when entering) I expect all projects shown to be constructed at a competitive level. We will not haul projects that are not. You will be responsible for entry fees and other costs associated with showing your project
