Hillsboro FFA chapter attends National FFA Convention
Lead Summary
By
Breanna Cooper-
On Wednesday, Oct. 27, the Hillsboro FFA chapter departed from Hillsboro and started their journey to Indianapolis, Ind. for the 94th National FFA Convention.
Along with attending sessions at the Lucas Oil Stadium, the chapter was also able to go on many tours and fun activities that improved chapter bonding. The chapter was able to tour the Great American Ball Park, GRT Glass Designs, Purdue University, A Wolf Park and Not Just Popcorn.
During the fourth general session at Convention, students watched a parent of a Hillsboro FFA member, Mathew Winkle, receive his Honorary FFA Degree.
While at the Lucas Oil Stadium, a few of the Hillsboro FFA members were able to watch some of our Hillsboro FFA members receive their American FFA Degrees: Heather Burba, Joe Helterbrand, Grant Crum and Ashlie Hillyer. As the highest degree achievable in the National FFA Organization, the American FFA Degree shows an FFA member’s perseverance and dedication. These members devote countless hours and years toward their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) as well as attaining leadership characteristics and giving back to the community.
Hillsboro FFA member, Emma Hatfield, said, “It was really fun getting to know people from across the United States.”
Overall, the Hillsboro FFA had a very fun and successful trip.
