2. Join our parent fundraising team—Zoom call in January! Questions/ideas? Visit www.samibooster.org to connect.

Photo 1: SAMi FFA enjoyed the 1st General Session of the 98th National FFA Convention and Expo where we heard inspiring words from the National officers and from keynote speaker Aric Jackson who reminded us to 1) Destroy our box, 2) Do You Unapologetically, and 3) Give 110% as we strive to empower ourselves and others.

SAMi FFA and Warren Hills FFA (from New Jersey) finally met in person at convention registration! They are our partner chapter through the Chapter Connect program that paved the way for SAMi FFA to attend National Convention in only our 2nd year as a chapter!
