Calling all Elementary Parents; we need volunteers for our upcoming bookfair! Parents who volunteer can receive a discount from any purchases made! Please go to http://tinyurl.com/GESBook2024 if you would like to volunteer!
Career Development Events build on what is learned in agricultural classes and encourage members to put their knowledge into practice. These events are designed to help a member prepare for a career in agriculture by testing and challenging the student's technical, leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills as well as their knowledge of the subject matter. CDEs answer the question, "When will I use this knowledge in the real world?"
Students will compete in several “invitational” contest prior to their Area Contes in April, which will be host to over 100 teams!
This year Gary FFA has a record number of students competing in contests for the first time EVER!
Please help us congratulate these teams on their first contest of the year and wish them luck as they grow and learn through FFA!
