STATE CHAMPIONS!! Your FFA Wildcats won the final round of Greenhand Quiz bowl in Springfield during the State FFA Convention. It was a nail-biter of a win as they were tied for first at the end of the championship round. Team members Hamish Boden, Jackson Goldsmith, Natalie Keleher, Nick Cobine and Graci Allen then each had the opportunity to answer one final buzzer question each while the other team had thre same opportunity. Your Wildcats were quick on the buzzers to beat out Kewanee.
We also had four FFA members receive thier State FFA Degrees at the convention. Congratulations to Lucas Holland, Izzy Haring, Graci Vanderheyden and Arthur Horn!
