On Feb. 10, members from Sebring Lodge went to the Highlands County Fair to present $100 checks to three students. Each of the students were participating in the FFA program or the 4H extension program and in the auction program that evening at the fair. The monies presented were to assist the students in the costs they had accrued for their projects during the past year. These monies were add-ons to the auction prices they received for their individual projects. The students wrote to the lodge explaining their projects and some of the things they had experienced and learned. TJ Mercer, showing his hog, is involved in the FFA program at Sebring Middle School. Jayce Graham, a student at Sebring High School, was participating in the 4H extension program growing citrus trees. Annjalee Johnson, showing her hog, is involved in the FFA program at Sebring High School.

Presenting the checks to Mercer, Graham and Johnson are Stacy Hill, two-year trustee, and Diane Morse, Loyal Knight.
