Last Monday, August 29th, the Paulding FFA Chapter held their first meeting of the 2022-2023 school year. The kickoff meeting included both FFA members and their parents, so they could learn a little more about FFA from the advisors and the officer team. At this meeting there were over 165 members and parents in attendance along with many FFA Alumni members. First everyone enjoyed sausage sandwiches prepared by Alumni members, then the meeting commenced. The FFA advisors, Mrs. Staci Miller and Mrs. Jen Bradford, explained how agriculture education is made up of three parts: Classroom instruction, SAE(supervised agricultural experience), and FFA. They also reviewed this year’s busy schedule of FFA events that members can participate in. Then the FFA officers talked about CDE’s (career development events) and the many opportunities these contests offer. This meeting provided a great opportunity for parents and students to get to know this year’s officers and advisors better. Overall, the meeting was a very successful meeting and the Paulding FFA is ready for the exciting year of FFA events to begin!
