Dear Parents/Guardians and Families:
Celebrating Our GLTS FFA Students’ Success at the State Convention!
At the end of last week, thirteen students from our Landscaping & Horticulture program proudly represented GLTS at the 95th Annual Massachusetts FFA State Convention in Framingham. They joined 430 students from 19 schools across the Commonwealth in a dynamic showcase of skill, leadership, and school pride.
Our Reggies competed in six challenging contests—agricultural sales, public speaking, employability skills, science fair, demonstrations, and marketing—and they shined! Congratulations to juniors Elenny Volquez, Ashley Perez, and Francelys Gonzales Beato, who earned 2nd place for their outstanding marketing team project. Sophomore Nicholas Marshall was recognized with a Star Award for his exemplary service as part of the convention’s courtesy corps. And to top it all off, GLTS was awarded “Best Dressed” for our students’ consistent and professional display of the official FFA uniform.
We are incredibly proud of all our FFA students. They truly exemplified the core values of both FFA and GLTS — leadership, professionalism, and community.
Special thanks to Mr. Peter Leonard for his continued dedication to our FFA program and for supporting our students throughout the convention.
Congratulations, Reggies!
