Our students attended Chapter President's Conference over the past two days.

Chapter Presidents Conference (CPC) first in a series of training conferences for chapter FFA officers. The conference helps newly elected chapter officers identify their strengths, develop personal growth plans, master speech writing and delivery and develop personal management skills.

Thank you to the Lake Gibson FFA Alumni for their support in sending Bellamy Howell and Bryant Shaffer to this amazing conference!
