Paulding FFA’s CDE team: STATE BOUND

By: Kaitlynn Fuller, Paulding FFA Reporter

The Paulding FFA Chapter’s Food Science and Technology career development event (CDE) team did a tremendous job at the district competition. The Food Science and Technology CDE requires students to have an in-depth understanding of food product development and presentation and food safety issues. Participants use their sensory skills to solve problems and make sound decisions. After many hours of practice, and preparation the team came out on top.

The team placed 1st to advanced to the State Competition on December 3rd in Columbus, Ohio. Team members are Chantal Monnier, Estee Miller, Hannah Farr, and Kalyn Strahley. Individually, Chantal placed 1st, Estee placed 2nd and Hannah Farr placed 4th. This team of go-getters has made the Paulding FFA Chapter very proud.
