Our aRiseUp middle school leadership group enjoyed a trip to Lincoln for the Sizemore Sportsmanship pep rally. Students heard from Husker athletes and coaches about what it takes to achieve goals, persevere and be awesome!

7th grade attended Inventure Day. Students were in groups with other members of local schools with an adult business mentor. They learned about entrepreneurship as they created their own product and put it out to market for the judges. They used their teammwork, communication and presenting skills.

Deshler Savings Branch brought in only 20 depositors this morning, but even with that, they brought in $219.80! Reminder: No Deshler Savings Branch next Tuesday (Veterans Day), BUT we will be open for your deposits at Family Game Night on Nov. 13th from 5:30-6:30 PM.

Last week, nine dedicated members of the Deshler FFA Chapter embarked on an exciting treck to Indianapolis, Indiana, to participate in the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo—one of the largest gatherings of student leaders in the nation. This opportunity allowed our members to engage deeply in leadership development, explore cutting-edge agricultural innovations, and connect with thousands of peers who share their passion for agriculture and community. Along the way, our students took part in a series of unique and educational tours that broadened their understanding of agriculture’s impact and career possibilities: ⚙️ Melvin Price Lock and Dam — They gained firsthand knowledge about the vital role of waterways in transportation, commerce, and managing natural resources along the Mississippi River. 🦊 St. Louis Zoo Veterinary Science Hospital — Our members were given a behind-the-scenes tour, witnessing a root canal procedure performed on a red wolf, highlighting the importance of veterinary science in wildlife conservation and animal health. 🌽 Bayer CropScience — Students explored advancements in crop research and learned how science and technology are helping to improve food production and sustainability worldwide. 🏗️ Gateway Arch National Park — Commemorating the Arch’s 60th anniversary, the group experienced a tram ride to the top, symbolizing westward expansion and American history. 📫Casey, Illinois — A fun stop to see the “World’s Largest” items. 🎓 Purdue University College of Agriculture — Touring one of the top agriculture colleges in the country gave students insight into higher education opportunities and career pathways in agriculture, encouraging them to envision their own futures in the industry. 🐖🐄 Fair Oaks Farms — At the swine and dairy farms, students observed sustainable livestock production practices first hand. They even watched a Holstein heifer give birth. 🎳 Malibu Jack’s Entertainment Center — After days full of learning and discovery, our members enjoyed some well-deserved fun bonding. 💡 At the National FFA Convention, our members attended sessions and workshops focused on leadership, career development, and agricultural education. These experiences empowered them to grow both personally and professionally while representing Deshler with pride. This trip was much more than a travel experience—it was a transformative educational journey that equipped our members with knowledge, skills, and connections to help shape the future of agriculture. We are incredibly proud of our students for their commitment and enthusiasm in making the most of this opportunity.

Congratulations to Deshler FFA’s American FFA Degree Recipients! 🎖️ The American FFA Degree is the highest honor the National FFA Organization bestows upon its members. It represents years of hard work, commitment to agricultural education, and leadership within the FFA and the community. Only one-half of one percent of all FFA members earn this degree each year, making it a truly remarkable achievement. To qualify, members must have earned their State FFA Degree, completed at least three years of agricultural education, and invested a minimum of $10,000 or 2,250 hours in their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program. They must also demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities and complete at least 50 hours of community service. We would like to proudly recognizes four members who have achieved this distinguished honor: ⭐️ Sam Hoops and Colton Isernhagen, who received their American Degrees on stage at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis yesterday. ⭐️ Mallory Kleen and Stormi Capek, who also earned this distinction but were unable to attend in person. We commend these young adults for their dedication, perseverance, and the pride they bring to Deshler Public Schools and the FFA community. 💙💛 Deshler FFA was started in 2017 and has had 5 American Degree recipients in less than 10 years. A number larger than some other chapters that have been around for decades. Congratulations to all!

Tune in now to watch Deshler's own Sam Hoops and Colton Isernhagen walk the stage to receive the American FFA Degree! https://www.ffa.org/wp-content/uploads/FFALive/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR53Kb0yp68epX-7oIF4B6H9YwbDY1Jy8PJoW-NYDsOZjl8Dv_nG7B_mKu2hfA_aem_kZq-p93TyitMvvj_-r3cTw
