Kinmundy, IL-(Effingham Radio)- South Central FFA has spent 5 days at The FFA National Convention.
They were there from October 25th to the 29th.
This convention is an amazing experience for all FFA members.
All members across the United States come together at the Indianapolis, Indiana Convention Center and the Lucas Oil Stadium.
There is a mega store for members to shop, an expo full of vendors, and sessions to watch the National Officer team and awards.
Along with the convention, there are many different CDE’s competed at the national level there.
South Central had a team make it to that level.
Pictured for Envirothon (from L to R) Advisor T.J Bolin, Morgan Robb, Hailey Shuler, Wyatt Iler, and Keira Langley.
There were 4 members that competed in multiple events for the Enviromental Science CDE.
Hailey Shuler, Morgan Robb, Keira Langley, and Wyatt Iler were the team members.
The team got the bronze rank, and they all did an awesome job.
Another big accomplishment for South Central FFA was Cotter Hiestand receiving his American Degree.
The American Degree is the highest rank you can get in FFA.
He has worked very hard in his high school career to get this!
The officers gave some of their opinions on National Convention.
They hope that sharing their experience will push others to want to go!
Keira (FFA Reporter) I think National Convention is a life changing experience. It really shows you what FFA is and how greatly it impacts our country. You get to meet all these amazing people and see so many different agriculture things! I definitely recommend people to go and see what it’s all about!
Evan (FFA Sentinel) I believe that everyone should have an opportunity to attend National Convention. It is an eye opening experience that you will never forget and a great opportunity to learn and experience what FFA is about!
Morgan (FFA Historian) National FFA Convention is one of my favorite events the chapter attends to. It’s such an awesome experience to see almost 70,000 members come together like a family because we ALL believe in one common thing, agriculture.
