Upper Adams students showcase FFA projects and community service at school board meeting
Summary
FFA advisers and student officers described their three‑part vocational program, highlighted competition finishes and community service projects, and thanked teachers and volunteers for program support.
Students and advisers from the Upper Adams FFA told the school board on Thursday that the chapter’s three‑part vocational model — classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience (SAE) and the student organization — gives members hands‑on learning and leadership opportunities.
The presentation, given by advisers and several student officers, outlined recent achievements including an agronomy team that placed third at the state competition, leadership events such as ACES and the midwinter convention, and multiple community service activities. "I'm Tash Showers. I'm the athletic president," said student officer Tash Showers, who described SAE requirements and community service hours; another student, Mason Menser, noted the chapter’s role in events from trunk‑or‑treat to the Apple Harvest petting zoo.
Why it matters: board members and community donors, including the Kanner Foundation, lauded the chapter’s work and its contribution to student development. The Kanner Foundation board announced more grant money available and allocated $5,000 toward improvements to the high‑school stage to support student performances.
Board members and audience members praised the students and thanked advisers and teachers who support the program. The presentation concluded after questions and public recognition, and the board proceeded with routine agenda business.
