Madison County judge executive Reagan Taylor read a proclamation recognizing National FFA Week and commended Madison Southern High School’s FFA students for their leadership and hands‑on learning.
Taylor, who identified herself as Madison County judge executive, said Madison Southern’s 170 FFA members ‘‘demonstrate excellence through hands on learning, supervised agriculture experiences, leadership development events, and service projects’’ that benefit the local economy and rural heritage. She read language declaring the period in the transcript as ‘‘February 21 through the 2026’’ as National FFA Week; the proclamation text as spoken did not specify a clear end date.
Emily Rowlett, introduced to the gathering as a member of the Madison Southern FFA, outlined the student chapter’s events for the week. She said Monday is ‘‘Dress Team America Monday’’ with bowling after school at Galaxy Bowling from 4 to 6 p.m. and a fundraiser at Raising Cane’s where 15% of proceeds will go to the FFA. Other planned activities include a trampoline‑park outing and an off‑campus activity at Bridal Crossing on Tuesday, a jeans‑painting event Wednesday, and a game night with pizza on Thursday.
On Friday Rowlett said the chapter will host a community chili supper and cook‑off in the school cafeteria, with both live and silent auctions and donated baked goods for sale. ‘‘Anybody is welcome to come,’’ she said, inviting the community to attend.
The proclamation was read aloud by the judge executive and no formal vote or additional action was recorded in the transcript. The student schedule and fundraiser details were presented for public information rather than as a formal agenda item. The meeting did not document further discussion, follow‑up assignments, or budgetary commitments related to the events.
The proclamation and the FFA events reflect local support for agricultural education and community involvement; the chapter’s stated calendar aims to raise funds and engage residents in the school’s activities.
