Lost River FFA students brief school board on farm projects, competitions and community events
Summary
Students from the Lost River FFA chapter presented their three‑circle agricultural education model, described farm livestock and greenhouse projects, listed competition results, and invited the board to a Mother's Day plant sale (May 7–9) and spring banquet (May 15).
Students representing the Lost River FFA chapter addressed the board to describe classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience (SAE) projects and FFA activities that extend learning beyond the classroom.
Anna Clever, identified as the chapter president, explained the FFA 'three‑circle' model of classroom instruction, SAE projects and FFA extracurricular activities. Students described their land‑lab (school farm) livestock—lambs, laying hens and a bull calf—greenhouse operations with hanging baskets and vegetable starts, dual‑credit course options with KCC and Treasure Valley Community College, and outreach to local elementary schools. They highlighted recent competitive accomplishments (state championships and high‑placing teams at national competitions) and said more than 80 percent of certain program classes were enrolled.
The students invited board members and staff to upcoming events: a Mother's Day plant sale (Thursday, May 7–Saturday, May 9) and a spring banquet on May 15. Board members offered praise and congratulated students running for state office.
