Our FFA Chapter is excited to share that we have received the $3,000 National FFA Organization Living to Serve grant to help fight hunger in our community.

The students will be raising meat birds and laying hens to donate whole chicken and eggs to the Linda C Davis Food Pantry - Ledyard .

While we would love to offer beef again, we are kinda exhausted from those "olympic athlete fence jumpers" that we seemed to have had several years in a row.

We are thankful to our National Sponsors for this grant: Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, Cargill , Tractor Supply Co. , Co Bank, Ardent Mills, Corteva Agriscience, Elanco Pet Health h , Valent and Wilbur Ellis

The 2026-27 FFA officer team kicked off their summer training last week! Graduate and former FFA officer, Teagan, led them through several fun and engaging activities to work on communication, problem solving and collaborating skills. They identified key qualities of good leaders, evaluated their personality styles and then worked together to solve a challenging puzzle. They also set goals for themselves, their team and the chapter today and began working on this year’s POA. Off to a great start!

One of the many ways our students can stay engaged with the AgSci program throughout the summer is to attend or assist with our summer dog agility classes. Taught by a program graduate, we are offering both introductory and intermediate skilled classes this year. Dogs, owners and students are having a blast and learning what it takes to introduce new skills successfully. By the end of the summer courses we hope to have confident trainers and many agile canine students!
