Rangely students recite FFA Creed at council meeting; town recognized for wastewater headworks project
Summary
Students from the Rangely FFA recited the FFA Creed and practiced judged Q&A before the council; the town also received recognition for its wastewater-treatment plant headworks project, which staff said was managed by Emily.
At the Feb. 25, 2025 meeting of the Rangely Town Council, two Rangely High School FFA students — chapter winner Addie (recorded in the transcript as 'Addie th') and runner-up Hayden Garcia — recited the FFA Creed and answered judges'-style questions as practice for district competition.
FFA advisor (identified in the transcript as 'kle mlan') introduced the students and described the program's emphasis on public speaking. Addie recited the Creed aloud, beginning with "I believe in the future of Agriculture with a faith born not of words but of Deeds," and later told the council that the phrase "faith born not of words but of Deeds" means backing words with actions. Hayden described "honest wealth" as the product of hard work.
Council members and attendees applauded and offered encouragement; the students were scheduled to represent Rangely at district competition the following Monday, with the possibility of advancing to state in June.
Separately in the meeting, the council accepted a presentation recognizing the town's wastewater-treatment plant headworks project. Council members praised Emily, who the meeting record identifies as managing the project, and thanked staff for the work on a substantial capital project.
The council's recognition and the student presentations were noted as community highlights before the business portion of the meeting proceeded.
