June 13-15, eight FFA members and Mr. Capps traveled to Springfield to attend the 95th Annual Illinois FFA Convention. This experience was more than fulfilling to say the least - few new member’s at their first convention, representing our chapter on stage, making new friends and lasting memories, listened to Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton about the importance of Illinois agriculture and agricultural education is to our state, and watch our very own 2022-2023 Section 21 President Eric Wisely get elected to serve as the 2023-2024 Illinois FFA State Vice President.
Recognition this week:
🌟Bronze placing in all three areas of the National Chapter Award - Strengthening Agriculture, Building Communities, and Growing Leaders.
🌟Tyler Bivens - Outstanding Chapter President, Bronze Level
🌟Tyler Bivens - Member, Illinois FFA Major State Officer Selection Committee
🌟Hailey Knox and Jacey Wilkins - Voting Delegates
Also, a very special THANK YOU to the Sandoval FFA for being our saving grace and letting us hitch a ride with them to Springfield as our bus was in shop.
