There were 11 nominees for kiss the pig. Not only teachers but other staff as well participated. This ranged from the dean of students to even the very own LHS principal. After introducing all the nominees, the top five were announced. Spanish teacher Andres Valencia, Chinese Teacher Chunmei Guan, English teacher Grace Scott, Graphic Design teacher Melissa Denney, and principal Matt Jones ended up as the top five with the highest donations.

FFA week is a week-long celebration every year throughout the week that Feb. 22 falls on. The reason for this is that Feb. 22 is George Washington’s birthday. Washington symbolizes the treasure because he was a good farmer and was able to do so because he was financially independent and kept his farm accounts carefully and accurately.

One of the activities that the Logansport FFA does every year is to kiss the pig. The kiss the pig fundraiser is a coin fundraiser where teachers volunteer to be a nominee and the students can put money into the container of the teacher they want to see kiss the pig.
