FFA Equals Leadership

It seems that no matter the feat, the FFA is successful in their endeavors. This year, twenty-three students competed at the Sub-State Leadership Development Event in several different areas including Prepared Public Speaking, Jr. Creed Speaking, Conduct of a Chapter Meeting, and Ag Issues. Students prepare long before competing, but these competitions aren’t just for an award. Mrs. Bennett explains, “LDE contests give FFA members a leg up on their future careers by developing the skills needed to seek employment in the industry of agriculture.” With the success of last year’s Conduct team moving up though the national level, it is exciting to see one of this year’s Conduct team begin to move up in the ranks. Congratulations to Maddy Bean, Maddy Bennett, Colt Baritell, Sy Brown, Ashlynn Lucas-Santos, Kaitlyn Rainbow, and Rylan Walkup. This Conduct team will continue on to compete at the state level this month. And congratulations to all the FFA members who continue to refine their leadership skills. We know it will all lead to their success!
