Today was filled with all things leadership! Our middle school executive team traveled to Hardinsburg, Ky today to participate in the Ky FFA middle school leadership conference. We had a blast networking with other middle schools around the state and learning qualities of a leader, how to build your future, and how to succeed! Thank you to KY FFA. And the State officers for putting on these workshops!

On Friday night and Saturday we were able to take three of our FFA members to the inaugural Green River region freshman leadership conference in Hardinsburg! Very few pictures were taken, but a lot of fun, learning, and fellowship were had! The members learned how to better serve in their chapters by practicing brother hood, honoring agricultural opportunities, and having the qualities of leadership that an FFA member should possess!

Members who participated:
Emily Howard
Liv Thompson
Emmett Hoover

This was an opportunity for them AND it was our first official trip as a chapter!

If you see them, don’t forget to ask them what they brought home from this experience, and why the advisors beat them in the volleyball tournament.
