Santa Fe FFA state convention bound

From June 13-17, 18 Santa Fe FFA members will be attending and participating in the Florida FFA State Convention. These representatives will attend numerous leadership workshops that will help the chapter succeed in the future.

Of the 18 members, two of them will be participating in Career Development Events (CDEs).  Elizabeth Roberts will be competing in the Creed Speaking Contest where she must recite the FFA Creed from memory, and then answer questions from three judges. Brittany Skaggs will also be competing in a CDE called Job Interview where she submits a cover letter, resume, and application. She then has a phone as well as a personal interview. After the interview, Skaggs will have only 30 minutes to write a follow-up letter.

Catherine Bowman is a final four finalist in two areas of Proficiency: Equine Placement and Forage Production. She will also be recognized as the Agriscience Student of the Year.

Along with Bowman, one of the chapter’s past members, Bailey Ann Burns, will be recognized for earning her American FFA Degree, which is the highest degree in the FFA.

All of the 18 members attending the convention are excited about the leadership skills they will gain while they are there, and are looking forward to cheering on their fellow FFA members as they compete and receive awards.
