FFA Week Spotlight: Clinton & Mt. Pulaski

Two area FFA chapters are reaching out to their communities and schools during FFA week.
 
The Clinton FFA chapter makes FFA week about outreach as well as an internal celebration. Riley Donelson, vice president of the Clinton chapter, indicates that they hosted spirit dress up days to get the entire student body involved and aware of the FFA program.
 
 
Kevin Toohill, Clinton chapter president, says that the chapter is very involved with career development events. Members are able to learn and take part in different agricultural fields that they may be interested in as a career at these events.
 
 
The Mt. Pulaski FFA chapter is involved in many competitions throughout the school year. Vice president Skye Kratzinger indicates that the chapter takes part in food science, public speaking, meat judging, and parliamentary procedure competition events.
 
 
A major part of FFA is record book keeping. Lucas Ailsworth, president of the Mt. Pulaski chapter, says that FFA members are involved in supervised agricultural experience record book keeping. Members are involved in an agricultural business and keep records of their expenses and compete in record book competitions.
 
 
The Mt. Pulaski chapter holds their FFA Week during March, instead of the week that it is traditionally held nationally. They say this allows them to do more outdoor activities involving their peers and the youth of the community.
