Julesburg FFA Members’ time in Indianapolis at the National FFA Convention has come to an end. They attended the last few business sessions, toured downtown Indianapolis, and saw the National Officers be elected and installed. While there were many formal educational opportunities, the learning and growth these students went through is hard to measure yet impactful. If you see these three, ask them about this unique experience and look forward to the leadership they developed in action at our local chapter. To support members and meaningful opportunities like this one, contact the local AgEd Instructor, Cheyanne Hope, at hope_ch@julesburg.org or find an Agricultural Education student in a few weeks for our annual wreath sales!
