Top Ten FFA Chapter Honor
Our FFA chapter was recently named a "Top Ten" Minnesota FFA chapter through the National Chapter Award program. This recognition is based on our chapter's implementation of chapter events throughout the year in the areas of growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening agriculture.
At the section meet, we had six students advance to the final round, each earning a placement. One of our standout performers, Alayna Haag, took 2nd place in the category Serious Prose. This qualified her to compete at the State competition at Park Center High School. Her piece was a cut from the book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Just a reminder that if your child has an unplanned absence from school, please call or email Becky Stenger (bstenger@evw.k12.mn.us or 320-453-2900) in the high school office the day of the absence. Please contact Becky in advance for all planned absences.
