Now that the final results are in, we are excited to recognize the accomplishments of our members at the 101st NYS FFA Convention!
This year, our chapter was represented in a wide variety of competitions and leadership events:
• 8 students competed in Ag Sales — the first time our chapter has ever had teams compete in this event!
• 4 students competed in Jr. Food Science — another chapter first!
• 4 students competed in Jr. Quiz Bowl
• 4 students competed in Sr. Quiz Bowl
• 8 students competed in Maple
• 1 student competed in the Agriscience Fair for the very first time, completing a project studying flavor preference in horses
• 3 delegates represented our chapter by voting on issues affecting the future of FFA
We are also proud to celebrate four members who earned their Empire Degrees: Maddie, Gavin, Morgan, and Dalton. This degree is the highest honor the New York State FFA Association can bestow upon its members and recognizes years of dedication, leadership, and growth in agricultural education.
We are especially proud to recognize the following individual accomplishments:
🏅 Addie — Top 6 in Sr. Creed
🏅 Sam — Top 6 in Jr. Creed
🥉 Caden — 3rd Place in Jr. Extemporaneous Speaking
🏅 Jacob — 6th Place in Jr. Food Science
🏅 Caden — 9th Place in Jr. Food Science
Whether members brought home awards, competed for the first time, earned degrees, or stepped outside their comfort zones, we are incredibly proud of every student who represented our chapter this week. The growth, teamwork, leadership, and dedication shown by these students made this convention a success!
