Conway FFA

Huge shout out to Robbie and Ashlee Letterman for allowing our Animal Science class to come watch as they put embryos in cows. Also, a huge thank you to Josh Glendenning for taking time to talk to the kids while he was on the job! It’s experiences like this that kids will truly remember the information that they are given!

We will have an FFA meeting tomorrow at 1pm in the Ag Building to discuss a couple of job opportunities and FFA activities this summer as well as plans for next school year.

All current FFA members and students who are taking Ag I next year are encouraged to attend. (Two points on the Point Chart will be given to those in attendance.)

Please help spread the word.

Trystan Storie and Alexa Rushing represented Conway FFA as delegates for Area X FFA Officer selection today. Thank you to Abby Gann for her year of service as an Area X Vice President for the 2025-2026 year and congratulations to Kirsten Keck for being elected to serve as an Area X Vice President for the 2026-2027 term.

I just need to take a moment to brag on this incredible group of kids.

This year has been anything but easy. They’ve faced more challenges in the past 12 months than any group ever should—but through it all, they leaned on each other and grew stronger because of it.

What they built goes beyond a team… they became a family. The kind that can disagree and still find common ground. The kind that supports, defends, and lifts each other up no matter what.

I’ve watched them encourage one another, stand by each other on the hard days, and push forward together when it felt impossible.

I may not be able to fully paint the picture, but please know this: this is a group I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Not just because of what they went through, but because of how they went through it—together, as a family.

I hope they truly know how much they mean to me and how grateful I am to have been a witness to their journey, even if I didn’t always show it.

Please join us in congratulating our 2026–27 Conway FFA Officer Team! We can’t wait to see all they accomplish and the impact they make in the year ahead.
