Students honored for state FFA achievements; district invites board to banquet
Loading...
Summary
Students and advisers reported multiple state-level FFA placings across ag science, mechanics, livestock and sales teams and invited board members to a May 12 banquet; the board recognized student accomplishments and presented a diploma to a graduating student.
Board members paused regular business to recognize student achievements at the state FFA convention and to present a diploma to a student who completed district graduation requirements.
Students and advisers described a strong showing at the state convention: junior-high and high-school teams and individuals placed across categories including agriculture mechanics, poultry judging, agriscience teams (animal science, plant systems, power/technical systems), green-hand quiz bowl, prepared speaking and livestock judging. One student noted a first-ever sixth-grader qualifying and placing in the prepared speaking contest against older competitors.
An adviser (S11) thanked the school board, invited members and administrators to the FFA banquet on May 12 and outlined team successes, including a wool team that earned a trip to a national contest in Dallas. Students described the convention experience and extracurricular activities that accompanied contest rounds.
“Just last week, we had our FSA state convention, and everything was doing really well,” a student (S5) told the board as teammates read placements and event highlights.
Separately, staff introduced Alonzo Martinez and reported he ‘‘met the requirements for graduation’’ under district rules; the board and administrators ceremonially moved his tassel and presented his diploma.
The recognitions were delivered during the "good things happening" portion of the agenda and drew thanks and brief applause from board members; the board did not take additional formal action other than the ceremonial diploma presentation.
