🌱💙💛 What a start to the year for PM FFA!
💛💙🌱From summer leadership to the show ring and everything in between, our members have been busy learning, leading, serving, and growing! ⭐️
⛺️ Our officers kicked off the year with a retreat at Keystone State Park, planning for the year ahead, building leadership skills, practicing Opening Ceremonies, and giving back to the park.
🚜 We connected with our community through Indiana County Farm Bureau’s “Hey There Summer” event, providing a petting zoo and meeting agricultural leaders, legislators, and community members.
🍎 We also had a beautiful Saturday at the ICCD Apple Festival, where 32 students helped represent our Agriculture Program through our petting zoo! 🐐🐑🐷🐍 A huge thank-you to everyone who stopped by and to the Indiana County Conservation District for including us in such a wonderful community event. Our students did an outstanding job showing their enthusiasm and advocating for agriculture! 🍏
🌱 Our members explored agricultural careers at Plant Yourself in Ag Day, getting hands-on with entomology, forestry, GPS tractors, cattle birthing, and so much more!
📚 And the learning doesn’t stop in the Ag Room! Students have been getting hands-on with leaf and tree identification, greenhouse diagrams, tree aging, nature scavenger hunts, steak temperature labs, dog grooming, forest fire investigations, and so much more! 🥩🐩🔥🌳🍂 🐐 We’ve also enjoyed plenty of time caring for and learning with our class animals! 🐑🐐
⭐️ We welcomed 40+ members at our first FFA meeting and are so excited for everything still ahead!
🎡 And what better way to celebrate than with a successful fair season! Our members showed beef cattle, goats, pigs, and lambs at the Dayton, Indiana County, and Cookport Fairs. 🐮🐐🐷🐑🏅 Here’s to a year full of agriculture, leadership, learning, service, memories, and growth! ⭐️
