Fall is always busy for our FFA Chapter, but with only 4 days between State Range Judging and Area Land Judging, they were again able to pull off a big day yesterday. Congratulations to these members for being the Area Runner-Ups of 26 schools! Only 9 points separated them from the top team.
Last week, six Junior High FFA members attended Ignite Leadership Conference in Kearney. They learned about all the opportunities they can have in FFA and how to continue to grow as leaders.
