Checotah FFA would like to extend a tremendous Mvto (thank you) to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources for stepping up when we needed help most.
When the electricity went out at the school while we were distributing our FFA meat sale orders, one phone call was all it took. The Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources responded quickly and allowed us to use their refrigerated semi and trailer to continue distributing orders and, more importantly, safely store and freeze our remaining products overnight. Their quick response helped protect thousands of dollars of product belonging to our students and customers.
This is just one more example of something we see time and time again across Oklahoma: our Tribal Nations show up for their communities, their schools, and their young people. Their investment goes far beyond financial support it is about relationships, opportunities, education, agriculture, and making sure the next generation has what it needs to succeed.
We are especially grateful to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation for its continued support of Checotah FFA, FFA programs, agricultural education, and schools throughout the Muscogee Reservation. Whether supporting young people involved in FFA and 4-H, agricultural programs, education, or simply answering the call when a school needs help, the Muscogee Nation continues to demonstrate what service to community looks like.
Agricultural education and FFA are stronger because of partners who believe in our students and are willing to invest their time, resources, and support in them.
To everyone at the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources who helped us during this unexpected situation: Mvto! Your willingness to step in at a moment’s notice meant more to our chapter than you know.
Checotah FFA is incredibly thankful to have the Muscogee Nation as a friend, supporter, and partner in agricultural education.
