Miami East MVCTC FFA Member Receives FFA Jacket from Sponsor

11/12/2020

Recently, Beck's Superior Hybrids of Atlanta, Indiana, donated an FFA jacket to two Miami East-MVCTC FFA Chapter members. The jackets were made available through a special project of the Ohio FFA Foundation. The Blue Jackets Program was founded to help new FFA members earn their first FFA jackets. Participating FFA members pledge to meet the Blue Jacket Program requirements, and the jackets will be awarded to them.

 

Requirements of the Blue Jacket Program include attending FFA events, completing community service, submitting satisfactory plans for a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program, service on an FFA Program of Activities committee, and completing a high school agricultural education course, and attendance at the FFA chapter meetings. Additionally, the members selected agree to maintain a positive and cooperative attitude. This year there were almost 400 FFA jackets awarded statewide.

 

 Selected from Miami East-MVCTC FFA were Ayla Gilbert and McKayah Musselman. Gilbert and Musselman are first-year FFA members at Miami East High School. They have attended numerous FFA activities, including FFA Meetings, the State Soils Career Development Event, and are preparing for the Novice Parliamentary Procedures Career Development Event.
