Anthony Wayne - Penta FFA
January Monthly Update
December Recap
December started back from fall break with the Parliamentary Procedure CDE, where the chapter officer team competed in the advanced contest. They placed third in the district! The following week, the chapter hosted State FFA President, Holly McClay for the day. Later that day the Degree Ceremony was held where members received their Greenhand and Chapter Degrees. Holly McClay also gave a speech during the ceremony. The month rounded out with a holiday party for FFA members to come and enjoy hot cocoa and watch a movie in the ag room!
District Parliamentary Procedure
On December 5th, 2019, the Anthony Wayne FFA officer team went to Four County Career Center where they competed in the District 1 Parliamentary Procedure CDE. They were judged on how effectively they ran a meeting and their knowledge on parliamentary procedure. The team consisting on Tayler Common, Maggie Burkett, Reegan Kehres, Anna Wright, Jacob Zajkowski, and Patrick Miller placed 3rd! Reegan was the highest scoring Chair and Anna was the highest scoring Secretary!
Annual Degree Ceremony
The Annual Degree Ceremony was held on Monday, December 9th, in the High School Auditorium. The annual ceremony recognizes the members who have worked hard inside and outside of class to ear their Greenhand and Chapter degrees. This year the chapter added 37 Greenhand recipients and 6 Chapter recipients to the roll of members!
Hosting the State President
On Monday, December 9th, 2019, the Anthony Wayne FFA Chapter was lucky to host the 2019-2020 Ohio FFA State President! Holly McClay came to AWHS and had an activity prepared for each of the ag science classes, each of which revolved around working to make yourself a better individual and a better team player. Holly also was able to be a part of the VIP meet and greet before the Degree Ceremony and play an ice breaker game with some of the degree recipients! She then spoke during the ceremony, telling of how she, and those around her, pushed through and persevered to become a better FFA member. We would like to thank Holly for taking the time out of her day and spending it with our chapter, helping to better our members through fun activities!
