In true ag teacher fashion, the spring has me and the FFA members running 100 miles per minute. So please forgive us for the late update on some of our recent contest teams.

Our Ag Communications team composed of Christopher Brooke, Delainie Hundley, Broc Studer, and Lilly Juhl got 1st place as a team. Lilly was 1st overall individual, Delainie was 2nd individually, Broc 7th place, and Christopher 9th place. It was exciting to see all members of the team place in the top 10 individually! This team will be competing at state CDE contest on May 2nd.

On April 6th we had 4 teams compete at the Super CDE Day in Highland. 2 of our teams did exceptionally well.

Caidence Brune, Abbie and Chloe Wattenbarger, and Kaycin Juhl made up our Floriculture team and placed 6th overall. This team will also be competing at the state level on May 1st.

Meah Thacker, Delainie Hundley, Broc Studer, Zoey Hayes, and Kobe Davis competed in the Food Science CDE contest. Overall as a team, they received 6th place. Meah Thacker placed 10th individually. Joining the Ag Communications and Floriculture teams, they will be competing in Manhattan at state CDE contest. Their event will be on May 3rd.

We had a few members compete in certain contests for their first time at Super CDE Day as well. Brooke Kiehnhoff and Hadley Cole tried their hand at Vet Science and did rather well for only 2 members on the team. Braedyn Rupe, Harley Hartman, and Luis Gutierrez competed in Dairy Foods.

Last week, we had a team compete in Farm/Agribusiness Management. Allison Schultz, Delainie Hundley, Brooke Kiehnhoff, Christopher Brooke, Alex Williams, and Lilly Juhl made up the team. They placed 3rd as a team and Lilly Juhl got 5th individually and Brooke Kiehnhoff got 8th.

As we wind down the year, we look forward to competing at State CDE Contest in Manhattan and State Envirothon in Elmdale. The Riverside FFA members have put in lots of extra time studying and preparing for these contests and are excited to see what they can do at the state level! If you see any of them, wish them luck!

Sorry for the late notice but the fundraising items will be delivered tomorrow morning! Members who sold need to make sure they have a way to get home items by the end of the day. It cannot stay in the shop overnight to keep it from spoiling.

Also, if you’d like to help unload and sort tomorrow morning, it would be appreciated. I will be at school by 7:00 and will have donuts, juice, and milk for my helpers!

National FFA Convention 2021 is in the books!

A trip to Indianapolis never disappoints. Tours of the Abraham Lincoln National Library and Memorial, Hunter’s Honey Farm, RDM Shrimp, and the Wolf Park left us enlightened with new knowledge and curious to learn more. Seeing and getting to connect with members from the “Sea of Blue” for the first time in 2 years reminded us just how impactful this organization is. We got to watch some of the toughest cowboys at the rodeo. Our keynote speaker reminded us that you can never take agriculture out of the kid and just how impactful being in the FFA is.

Thank you for all that donate, support our fundraisers, and our kids that allow all of this to happen!
