What an incredible experience at the 98th Annual State FFA Convention! Our students represented our chapter so well as they competed in Environmental & Natural Resources, Farm Business Management, and Quiz Bowl. As a chapter, we were honored to receive the Superior Chapter Award. Throughout the convention, we attended general sessions, educational sessions, competed in events, connected with other chapters, and celebrated the achievements of FFA members from across the state. Thank you to our supportive parents, administration, chaperones, and community for always encouraging and believing in our students. We couldn’t do it without you!
