“I Believe” -- FFA Week
Sat, 02/25/2012 - 19:48 | by carey.white
FFA Week is a celebration of agriculture. Without agriculture, we wouldn’t have food, fiber and shelter. FFA (Future Farmers of America) is a National Youth Leadership Origination. Some of FFA week’s activities included recognizing our teachers and members by serving breakfast and lunch, and visiting junior high schools to introduce younger students to FFA in hope that they would like to join FFA in high school. FFA officers coordinate and serve others during FFA week.
“FFA reminds us and the public who we are and what we represent,” said Mrs. Monica Giffing, Springville High FFA Adviser.
This year’s national FFA theme is “I Believe.” The theme celebrates more than 80 years of FFA traditions while eagerly anticipating the organization’s future. More than half a million nationwide members will participate in National FFA Week activities at the local, state and national levels. FFA members are the leaders of tomorrow.
“Through agriculture education and hands-on learning, students prepare for more than 300 career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry,” said Kristy Meyer, FFA media officer.
Giffing said, “I love my job, mainly because I believe in the future of my students and of their potential.”
