NewsTown TalkNew Ag AssociationChanging Lives


Friona ISD is honored and humbled to accept the generous gift of $20,000 from the Friona Vocational Ag Association. Tracy Bunker, Darren Gilley, Clint Hurst, Cody Kimbrough, Greg O’Brian, and Bill White presented Becky Riethmayer (Board President), Jason Rector (Board Secretary), Wade Schueler (Board Trustee), Kayle Jesko (Ag Science Teacher), and Pamela Nelson-Ray (Superintendent) with the donation. We are so grateful for the sacrifice, dedication, and generosity of the Friona Vocational Ag Association. This contribution will directly benefit our students by providing improved facilities and support for all their programs. Supporting our ag program is imperative to build a better future for our rural community. Without our agricultural base, Friona would not thrive. Thank you to all of you who donated.
