💙💛 Today was one of those days that made this FFA advisor’s heart SO full. 💛💙

A little while ago, I asked my class if anyone would be interested in starting a Wildlife Club after school. I had around 25 students who wanted to compete in Wildlife Identification, so I thought, why not? Let’s start something new!

What I didn’t realize then was that this little idea would turn into something so much bigger. These kids found a new passion, stepped outside of their comfort zones, learned something completely new, and today… they got to compete for the very first time! 🦌🌲🦉

Today, our students competed in the Wildlife Identification Career Development Event (CDE) in the Junior Wildlife Identification division. For many of them, this was their first time ever competing in a Wildlife ID CDE.

Before we competed, I told them one thing: Try your hardest. Give it everything you have. And no matter where you place, I will be proud of you.

Well… WOW. 🥹

✨ Finley Edwards — 1st Place!
✨ Francesca Farkas — 3rd Place!
✨ Our team — 1st Place! 🏆

And honestly, watching my girls realize what they had accomplished was the BEST part. They were SO happy. SO proud. And yes, girls… you absolutely should be! 💙💛

Here’s to my girls who put their all into it, believed in themselves, and showed us what can happen when you find something you love and give it your best.

Today wasn’t just about ribbons or a first-place team finish. It was about starting something new, finding a passion, taking a chance, and seeing your hard work pay off.

I am one incredibly proud FFA advisor tonight. 🥹💙💛

Here’s to Wildlife Club, new passions, new opportunities, and the amazing kids who continue to remind me why I love what I do.

The Land Lab Farm Stand is open today, and we’ve got plenty of fresh goodies waiting for you! 🌻

We have tons of zucchini—perfect for making a batch or two of zucchini bread! Don’t forget, you can grate and freeze some now to enjoy fresh zucchini bread later in the year. We also have tomatoes, yellow squash, turnips, cucumbers, peppers, and fresh eggs. 🥒🍅🫑🥚

All of our fresh produce is available by donation, and every donation is truly appreciated. You can also leave a monetary donation by scanning the QR code attached to the donation box.

We also have beautiful spider plants in hanging baskets available for just $5 each! 🪴

Come on down and see what we have. As we always say, **“If the doors are open, come on in!”**

Thank you kindly for supporting the Land Lab and our students. We’re always grateful to share what we grow with our wonderful community! 💙💛

🌟 **Officer Training Day!** 🌟

Today, our FFA officers spent time developing their leadership skills, learning more about their officer responsibilities, and reflecting on both their strengths and the areas where they have room to grow.

Taking on an officer role comes with responsibility, purpose, and the opportunity to serve others. We hope each of our officers walked away understanding why their peers chose them for these positions. Every one of them brings a unique strength to the table—not just to grow themselves, but to help lift up those around them. 💙💛

Our FFA motto is something we strive to live by every day as members and advisors: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve. Leadership isn't just about holding a title; it's about using your strengths to make a difference.

We were also excited to welcome our new Ag teacher and FFA advisor, Miss Galton, to the program! To make her feel right at home, our Senior President, Vanessa Lehr, presented her with a special welcoming gift from the chapter. 💙💛

What a wonderful way to welcome a new member of our FFA family!

We are so excited for the year ahead and all the learning, growing, leading, and serving that these students will do together. 🌱🐄💙💛

(New headshots coming soon...)
