We would like to extend an invitation to all families of Tompkins FFA students to join the Tompkins FFA Booster Club.
The Tompkins FFA Booster Club is made up of parents, guardians, and other family members of Tompkins FFA students, as well as our Ag Advisors, alumni, friends, and local businesses. As a booster club, it is our goal to support our Tompkins FFA students. Your dues, time and fundraising support will be used to fund such things as scholarships to qualifying seniors, travel expenses for competitions, leadership conferences, conventions; assistance with FFA events and activities; the purchase of equipment for our barn and shop supplies, trailer maintenance, support at the KISD Livestock show (student tent, project signs, etc.) and more.
The Booster Club meets monthly at the same time as the students have their FFA meeting and takes direction from the Ag Advisors as to what the greatest needs are for the chapter. Many of the listed expenses are not covered with school district funds.
Membership Levels: Payment Options are listed online after submitting information online.
Falcon: $45 (new members receive a Pen Show Sign)
Bronze: $100 (Falcon,plus recognition on Tompkins FFA Website)
Silver:$250 (Bronze, plus recognition in the KISD FFA Ad Catalog)

We hope all of our FFA parents are excited to get involved. Just your membership alone is a great support and your time at any event throughout the year is supportive. We're looking forward to another great year.

Tompkins FFA Volunteer Opportunities
Fundraisers
We have two different fundraisers each year to assist with. Usually one is in the fall and the other is in the spring.
Katy ISD Livestock Show & Rodeo Committees
Serve as a liaison between the district and the Tompkins FFA Booster Club by attending rodeo planning meetings and reporting back to the booster club. Keeps the membership in the loop in the planning progress. Participate in sub-committees if you'd like.
Progress Show Silent Auction
Obtain auction items for silent auction held in December or January. Help to create themed baskets for sale as needed. Organize items, bid sheets, etc. and set up tables at the event. Work the event. Take payment as close of the event to turn in to our treasurer. Send out thank you notes.
Katy ISD Progress Show Concessions
Find donors and volunteers for concessions. Prepare food items. Order food items. Organize donated food and drinks. Work concessions.
The Katy ISD FFA Booster Clubs all take turns (as assigned by the Katy ISD administration) in overseeing and handling the concession stand each year. Our turn comes around every 9 years.
Chapter Events
Help the student chapter as needed when they hold or sponsor an event. Provide refreshments, meals, etc. Set-up, decorate, clean-up etc. (barn clean-up, greenhand conference, Falcon Farmhand Adventure etc.).
Katy ISD Livestock Show
Set up Tompkins tent, tables and banners. Chaperone the food tables and tent and help Ag teachers gather students for check-ins etc. Provide meals, snacks, and drinks for our families and their guests Wednesday through Saturday during the livestock show week.
Awards Banquet
Help with set up, decorations and expenses if requested by the ag teachers and the student chapter.
Barn Maintenance
Help supply the Ag teachers with different supplies they may need at or for the barn. Mow or edge around our barn as needed. Help at the barn clean-ups when needed.
Chapter Trips
Chaperone trips if requested. Some trips may include judging days, State FFA Convention and more!
Volunteer Hours
Volunteer hours may be submitted on the OTHS PTSA website. Both parents and students can submit volunteer hours.
At Katy ISD, the raptor check-in system is used to log your volunteer hours spent at the school if you indicate that you are volunteering when you check in at the front office.
The raptor system does not track your off-campus volunteer hours.
Volunteers are asked to report any volunteer time spent outside of school hours or away from the school. The PTSA asks that these off-campus volunteer hours be reported every month. You may submit your hours on the OTHS PTSA web site under the 'get involved' tab. Here is the link:
Or you may e-mail your hours to volunteers@tompkinshsptsa.org
If you forget one month, you may include those hours the following month. If you have any questions or problems with this form, please contact the PTSA at volunteers@tompkinshsptsa.org
Anything you do for any group in the school is counted. For FFA families, off-campus volunteer hours can include any time you've spent driving your child to and from the barn, as well as time spent at the barn, helping with the animals, booster club meetings, and of course any FFA related activity or event (or preparing for an FFA related activity or event such as shopping, cooking, painting, gathering auction items, etc.) Again, this must be time spent outside of regular school hours. These hours may be for any family member including the student.
