New Waverly FFA

08/17/2026

👋 If you see a new face around the Ag Shop this week, be sure to say hello to Ms. Elswick! 💙💛

We are excited to welcome Ms. Elswick to our Ag Department as a student teacher from Sam Houston State University! 🧡🤍 She is majoring in Interdisciplinary Agriculture Education and is ready to jump in, work with our students, and experience everything agricultural education and FFA have to offer.

🐮 A few fun facts about Ms. Elswick: her favorite meal is steak and mashed potatoes, her go-to drink is Dr Pepper, she graduated from Cy Woods High School, and her favorite TV show is The Office. Some of her favorite Ag memories are raising livestock and creating projects!

We are excited for our students to get to know her and for her to become part of all the fun, learning, and organized chaos that happens around the Ag Shop! 🔨🌱🐑

💙💛 Give Ms. Elswick a big New Waverly welcome when you see her! She will be here with us for the fall semester!
