Earlier this year, the 2021-2022 Chapter Officers and Advisors completed and submitted the National FFA Chapter Recognition Application to Ohio FFA for state-level judging. We have completed this application every year and most years have been recognized as a Gold Rated Chapter at the state level- the top rating you can recieve. However, for the first time in over a decade- the chapter was not only recognized as Gold Rated but as a TOP 10 OVERALL chapter in the state this year! This is a HUGE honor as there are 324 chapters in the state!

In addition to being named Top 10 Overall, the chapter was selected as a finalist in 2 of the 3 Premier Chapter Divisions- Growing Leaders and Strengthening Agriculture! This means, the chapter’s activities in 2021 in these 2 categories are considered to be outstanding! Next week, 4 of our members (Anna Abbitt, Emma Puckett, Rachel Dsuban, and Olivia Zaenkert) will complete virtual interviews in hopes of our chapter being named the TOP OHIO FFA CHAPTER in one (or both) of these divisions!

There will be an FCA meeting this Wednesday at 2:20 in the Guidance Conference Room. Anyone is welcome to attend, and we hope you consider joining our chapter to help grow our community and impact our school. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jacob Farmer, Harrison Cradduck, or Dean Cradduck.

Now for whats the T followed by sports with Luke WP.

Home games: the softball team will open up their season in a conference matchup against Northwest at 5, the baseball team will host Monroe also at 5, and the much anticipated lacrosse season opener against Edgewood will begin at 6, we’ll also carry that game live here on Channel 85 so tune in.

Also one final announcement, extreme week will be next week, for those who don’t know a Channel 85 tradition is the annual extreme week, where members of the class, with this years victims being Parker and the boys of course, will perform extreme acts on the news if enough money is raised each day, as always, the first day will be free, and if all the goals are met, there will be a special surprise finale at the talent show, all proceeds will benefit the Oxford Family Resource Center.
