The 2025-2026 FFA Officer Team came together to meet with the current 8th grade students to talk to them about what FFA is all about along with why they should take Ag Classes. The 8th graders got a FFA Cup filled with a baggie of smores trial mix, and FFA emblem key chain, and FFA sticker when it was completed. The officers worked together to create a PowerPoint and half of them talked about Ag classes and the other half of the team discussed FFA. Looking forward to what this 8th grade group brings our chapter this next year.
