FFA officers tell board membership, competition and curriculum growth
Summary
FFA officers reported a membership increase from 31 to 40 members, an expansion of officer roles, state and national competition participation, and fundraising to support travel; officers also outlined class enrollments and demand for agricultural classes.
FFA officers presented an annual report to the Galena City School District board, citing increased participation, competition results and plans for program expansion. Officers told trustees that membership rose from 31 members last year to 40 this year and that the officer team will expand from six to eight members next year.
Presenters described competitive activities and outcomes: 12 students attended state convention (the chapter earned a bronze chapter degree), eight students competed at national events, and several students were elected or served as delegates at sectional conventions. The group said fundraisers — notably a fish-fry auction organized with FFA alumni — generated money to support travel to conventions and competitions.
FFA presenters outlined course enrollment and demand for agricultural education (AD) classes: they said 95 students wanted AD classes but only 75 enrolled due to scheduling and capacity, and they described next year’s planned sections (e.g., two sections of intro-to-AG). Officers also listed upcoming activities, leadership camps and section meetings.
Board members thanked the students and advisers for the presentation and for growing engagement in agricultural education.
