Our FFA Farm Business Management team traveled to Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention. They competed on Wednesday morning securing a Silver team plaque. Anderson Filla and Caleb Hansen were in the Bronze category, and Merek Charney and Caleb Poss were in the Silver category. These students went up against 43 other teams from all different states and about 172 students.
We are so proud of this team and their representation of the Akron FFA Chapter and the state of Colorado! While there they also toured the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and National FFA Center.
Shout out to Mr. Randel for attending this event with them!
On Wednesday, high school students attended a Fight the Funk leadership summit at NJC. This event provided students with leadership tools and resources to create lasting change in their school communities, with a follow-up event planned for February 2025 to provide ongoing support.
Activities that the students participated in included:
Youth-led discussions on stress and substance use issues
Collaborative action plan development with students and adult mentors
Keynote presentations on youth leadership and substance misuse
