Here are a couple of photos from the last day of the National FFA Convention!
It's game day!
We have so many wonderful people working in our district. Today we wanted to pay homage to the paraprofessionals and aides within our district. These individuals work hand-in-hand with our teachers to educate our students. We can't thank them enough for all they do! It's a great place to be a WIlDCAT! 🐾
FOOTBALL SENIOR DAY!!
FFA members in Indy! Our chapter drove down yesterday and visited Tuttle Orchards on the way. The tour guide taught the kids about value-added products that kept the orchard financially afloat when a late frost destroyed their crop two years in a row. Today we went to the first general session where they heard from Keynote speaker Kevin Wanzer and attended a workshop on "The most powerful word in the world."
