FaceBook post from Mr. McKimmey:
"What an amazing opportunity! GRHS FFA had the opportunity to help the Orphan Train, Mercy Meals. We, as a chapter, were part of making 120,000 meals for people who are struggling, orphans, and refugees all over the world! Gordon-Rushville Mustangs FFA aren't just kids having fun, we are making the world better! The students in my chapter inspire many but most all inspire me!"
