The last two days these 10 Greenhand FFA members attended the FFA Ground Zero Conference in Springfield. Students took a personal growth journey by exploring outer space! We had a full day of sessions yesterday, had dinner at Texas Roadhouse, explored at Scheels, and ended the night with other FFA members.
They are in their final session preparing to put to work the things they have learned to start up their FFA Careers!
This week our FFA chapter hosted the Section 9 Public Speaking contest. We had 4 students compete in this contest as well!
Max Mason & Chay Fisher competed in Varsity Extemporaneous where they drew a topic out of a bag and then had 30 minutes to prepare a speech to present to a panel of judges.
Ethan Neuhaus & Eli Burmaster competed in Creed Speaking where they recited the 5 paragraph FFA Creed and then answered questions.
Also, Thank you to all of our chapter members and alumni members who attended to help run the contest!
Dear Families,
As we look ahead to the end of the week, I want to inform you we are closely monitoring the extreme cold temperatures forecasted for this Friday.
The safety of our students and staff is always our primary concern. At this time, no decision has been made regarding a change to our school schedule.
We plan to communicate a final decision as early as possible to give you adequate time to prepare. In the event that we are unable to hold in-person classes on Friday, it is highly likely that we will transition to an e-learning day.
Any updates or changes will be shared through our standard communication channels, including our automated calling system, text alerts, email, and the district website.
Thank you for your continued support of Ridgeview Schools!
