Our FFA chapter held their December FFA meeting before Winter Break. Officers started with opening ceremonies and their reports. We recognized our top sellers from our fundraiser. We had committee meetings where our chapter members, being led by our committee chairs, started organizing chapter events during FFA week. Members also received a FFA shirt from KanEquip. Thank you’s go out to Topeka for this unique gift. We are excited for 2026 and things to come.
In December, Dalton Cragg and Luke Bateman challenged themselves in competing in the Kaw River Arc Battle hosted in Wamego. competing again other students in Northeast Kansas. Dalton finished 12th and Luke finished 20th. As a team of two, where a team is three students, they finished 7th out of 10. Great job guys!
Congratulations to McKenzie Heller, Braxdon Penry, Rebecca Shrewsbury, and Luke Bateman for completing their OSHA 10 certification in their Advanced Ag Mechanics classes this fall. This is an industrial certification that these students are knowledgeable about safety in and around the work areas through CareerSafe and OSHA. Great job!!
Projects in the shop are taking place! Some are woods projects by the freshmen Ag classes, while there is welding done by Advanced Ag Mechanics projects.
