Anthony Wayne - Penta FFA
September Monthly Update
Back to School!
Anthony Wayne Local Schools are back in session as of August 20th/21st, and the AW FFA Chapter is happy to be back! The officer team has been hard at work getting activities and events ready for school to start. Each class, as well, has gotten to know each other and started going over what their semester will look like. The chapter is excited to have a fresh group of faces to start with and is ready for the year to get rolling!
Agribusiness
The Ag Business class started school by doing a number of activities including team building, figuring out their learning style, testing their knowledge on corporation size brands, and doing an exercise focusing on finances! Shown are from left to right; Kassidy Pitman, Tayler Common, and Haley Turner, at the team building station.
STEM Connect
The STEM Connect class got to have a scavenger hunt on their first few days of school! This scavenger hunt was focusing on natural resources, and the students collected materials from nature to match their color selections.
AFNR 1 & 2
The AFNR 1 and AFNR 2 classes got to be a part of CDE Draft Day that the officer team put together! The students took an interest survey which then matched them with their top three CDEs or Career Development Events. On Friday, August 30th, the students got to participate and compete in the stations that the officers put together! Then they rated each station on how much they liked it. By doing this the chapter hopes to have sparked interest in different CDEs by the younger members!
