Photo 1: SAMi FFA enjoyed the 1st General Session of the 98th National FFA Convention and Expo where we heard inspiring words from the National officers and from keynote speaker Aric Jackson who reminded us to 1) Destroy our box, 2) Do You Unapologetically, and 3) Give 110% as we strive to empower ourselves and others.

Photo 2:
SAMi FFA and Warren Hills FFA (from New Jersey) finally met in person at convention registration! They are our partner chapter through the Chapter Connect program that paved the way for SAMi FFA to attend National Convention in only our 2nd year as a chapter!

Introducing the SAMI Conservation Corps! As part of this year’s miniterm, students designed and installed a brand-new trail at Point Defiance behind Camp 6. The ¾ mile trail will be SAMI’s to maintain and the hope is to add more improvements to the trail in the future.

Check out this student-produced video to learn more about the project and hear student and staff perspectives on environmental stewardship and conservation. 🌱🌲
