There is so much to say about the success of our members at this year’s FFA State Convention! (This will be a lengthy post but stay with it until the end, it’s worth it!) Our retiring Chapter President, Noah Young, will not be retiring the blue corduroy jacket just yet! He was elected by his peers across the state and will be serving as Arkansas FFA State Secretary!!! We can’t wait to see how you grow and mature during your year of serving in office! We are so proud of you!!! Greenhand member, Ryan Keller, competed in the FFA knowledge contest! In this contest you must have a vast knowledge of FFA history, rules of the organization, and parliamentary procedure knowledge. He qualified for State finals by taking a written exam and placing in the top 12 scores across the state. Because he qualified, he then competed in the Oral Exam/interview portion. Ryan performed to the highest of standards during this and ended up being FFA Knowledge State Champion!!! 🥇 congrats Ryan! We’re all proud! The Conduct of a Chapter Meeting Team competed in the state finals as one of the Top 9 teams of the state. The team did a tremendous presentation and finished the contest 3rd, and brought home a plaque for the Ag Room Wall! Team members are Cole Gates, Zeke Church, Jackson Webb, Katie Bennett, Austin Morgan, Ryan Keller, and Dawson Worthington (not pictured because he had to leave early for baseball district tournament)! Congratulations to this wonderful team! The parliamentary procedure team also competed in the State Finals and fell just short of receiving a top 3 plaque. They worked hard and had a good round. We are proud of all of your hard work and your finish! Teams member are Addy Williams, Caeley Gist, Drew Nichols, Kade Keton, Ryder Brunner, and Noah Bartsch! Last but not least, our chapter had 5 kids receive their State FFA degrees today! To receive this degree they must work over 300 hours (outside of the classroom) in a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE), get 25 hours of community service, and a host of other qualifications. For achieving this feat they received the Gold Chain and Emblem to drape from their jacket. These recipients are: Wyatt Smith, Caeley Gist, Addy Williams, Drew Nichols, and Katie Clark (not pictured because she was playing in the district softball tournament)! We are so proud of these individuals for achieving that long term goal! This was such a great trip! Thank you to the community for always supporting and encouraging these kids to achieve their best! It’s definitely paying off!
