Valley View- MVCTC FFA Members fair well at Regional Evaluations

02/19/2019

The Valley View-MVCTC FFA Chapter recently competed in the District 5 Evaluations of the Ohio FFA Association at Central State University. Several members of the chapter worked extra hard to prepare for awards and degrees.

Three 2018-2019 Chapter Officers submitted books for review. Kelsey Wight submitted the Secretary’s Book and earned a gold rating. Keith Kinner submitted the Treasurer’s Book and earned a gold rating. Ansley Kozarec submitted the Reporter’s Book and earned a gold rating. Kelsey, Keith, and Ansley will be recognized at the State FFA Convention in May.

Junior Members Mackenzie Hoog, Tyler Michael, and Haley Hall applied for the State FFA Degree. Recent Valley View graduates Mercedes Woodson, Mike Boyle, and Jordan Johnson applied for the American FFA Degree. All applications were reviewed and will continue on to State Evaluations, best of luck to them! Ohio FFA State Degrees is the highest honor a State FFA Association can award. American FFA Degree is the highest honor the National FFA Organization can award before an FFA Member becomes an Alumni Member.

The National FFA Organization (formerly known as Future Farmers of America) provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education. Today, there are 629,327 FFA members in grades seven through twelve who belong to one of 7,665 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

The Valley View Agriculture Education Department and FFA Chapter are under the direction of Advisor Betsy Martin and the Miami Valley Career Technology Center.
