🎉🌾 Kansas FFA State Convention – Day 3 & Convention Wrap-Up 🌾🎉
Friday marked the final day of the Kansas FFA State Convention, and what a great way to finish an incredible week! 💙💛
During the 5th General Session, Mady Rose and Landon represented our chapter as they accepted our chapter's Gold Level National Chapter Award. 🏆 This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment of all of our members throughout the year.
At the 6th General Session, seven of our members earned the highest degree that the Kansas FFA Association can bestow upon its members—the State FFA Degree. ⭐ Congratulations to Taytum, Kate, Ella, Landon, Mady, and Trae, who proudly walked across the stage to receive their Golden Charm. Ty also earned his State Degree but was unable to attend convention. This is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to the hard work, leadership, and dedication these members have shown throughout their FFA careers.
Landon also had the opportunity to take the stage as a finalist for the Gator drawing. 🚜 While he didn't bring home the grand prize, it was still an exciting moment and a fun experience!
To wrap up convention, we were able to watch Greyson perform one last time with the State FFA Band. 🎶 The band did an outstanding job throughout the week, and we are proud of the work and dedication he put into representing our chapter.
Convention is always a fun, memorable, and exhausting week, but our members represented the MdCV FFA Chapter with dignity, professionalism, leadership, and pride. One of the things we hear time and time again is amazement at what our small chapter can accomplish. While some chapters have 100, 200, or even 250 members, our chapter of just 35 members continues to compete, lead, and succeed alongside the very best in Kansas. 🌟
No matter the size of the chapter, leadership, hard work, and heart make all the difference. Our members proved that again this week.💪
🪞As convention comes to a close, I want to take a moment to recognize three young ladies who have meant so much to our chapter and to me personally as an advisor—Ella, Taytum, and Kate. ❤️
When I arrived as their advisor three years ago, these girls didn't hesitate for a second. They jumped in, got to work, and helped build a culture of leadership, service, and excellence. They embraced new ideas, challenged themselves, and often took my ideas and made them even better. Their leadership has been a major reason our chapter is where it is today.💯
They have led by example, mentored younger members, and helped create opportunities that will benefit our chapter long after they graduate. It won't be the same without them, and their shoes will be difficult to fill. While I am going to miss having them in our chapter, I am incredibly thankful for the impact they have left on our members, our program, and on me personally as an advisor. Watching them grow into the leaders they are today has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. 💙💛
We are incredibly proud of every member who attended convention. Thank you for representing MdCV FFA so well and for showing that great things can come from small schools with big hearts, strong work ethics, and a commitment to making a difference. 💙🌾💛
