The Byron FFA Plant Sale is here, albeit a little different from years past. First, we will be providing a drive-through for patrons to come to the school and select their plants. We are asking folks to remain in their cars until they reach the plant staging area, and then they will be allowed to exit their cars in order to “shop.” Due to the mandated school closure, the quantity of items that could be grown is less than previous years. The quality, however, is the same - excellent.

The Byron School District would like to recognize the efforts of the Byron school staff by celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. Please join us in thanking the staff at Byron CUSD for all they do on behalf of our community’s children.
