State Convention 2019 has come to a close and our chapter members had an excellent experience!
We couldn't bring 35 students to State FFA Convention without the help of our awesome chaperones. Thanks to Darcy, Ashley, Brian, and Jennifer and our fearless bus driver, Mr. Harmon. Several of our chaperones have traveled with us for many years and help make this event run like a well-oiled machine for the CCE FFA!
Congratulations to all of our members on an awesome State Leadership Convention!

We were the last bus to leave the Hilton parking lot tonight after the 4th General Session finished up. It seemed fitting as this is the last time we will attend state convention as the CCE FFA Chapter. Next year, all the students will go different directions and put on a different jacket. Still, I hope that they will look back fondly on their time spent in their CCE jacket and are proud of all they accomplished as a Maverick wearing the blue and gold!
