✈️ Building a Better Airplane! ✈️

Mrs. Bochniak’s BSAA classes put the scientific method into action during the “Building a Better Airplane Experiment!”Students worked in groups to design and conduct their own experiments to determine how they could make a paper airplane fly farther.

Each group selected an independent variable to test, made their predictions, tested their designs, collected data, and, of course, let their airplanes fly!

It was a hands-on way to see how ag scientists use questions, experimentation, and data to find answers. It was also a great way to kick off the year with some fun ag science!

Our Pumpkin Plot is is starting to look very colorful!

Our FFA members have been working hard all summer caring for our pumpkin plot, and it’s exciting to see their hard work starting to pay off! From planting and weeding to keeping an eye on those growing vines, our students have put in plenty of time and effort to make this crop a success.

Our first pumpkin sales will be at the Sandwich Fair! After the fair, we’ll continue selling pumpkins at Somonauk High School, so be sure to keep an eye out for more details!

We can’t wait to share the harvest with our community and show off what our FFA members have grown!

During this month’s chapter meeting, we were proud to welcome over 150 members and parents in attendance! We recognized member achievements and awards and discussed leadership camp, State Convention, summer workdays, and many other important chapter activities. We also shared information about upcoming events and opportunities for our members.

While parents and guardians learned more about our chapter and Ag Department, our members enjoyed a fun game of kickball!

Thank you to all of our members, parents & guardians, and supporters for helping make our chapter meeting a great success! And a huge thank you to the Somonauk Leland Sandwich FFA Alumni for providing the delicious meal! 💙💛
