On Tuesday, September 1st, the Paulding FFA Chapter held its first meeting of the 2026-2027 school year. This kickoff meeting included first-year FFA members as well as any returning members and their parents to give them an introduction to the Paulding FFA Chapter. Over 65 members and parents attended, along with many FFA Alumni. Dinner was provided by the FFA Alumni with their classic sausage sandwiches as well as chocolate chip cookies and lemonade. The meeting was arranged into two stations for the members. The stations included officers explaining different CDEs, hands-on activities, and icebreakers so members could get to know each other through fun games in the shop and get to know the officer team. While new members were going through these stations with the officers, their parents were with the FFA advisors receiving a walkthrough of the chapter\u2019s expectations, opportunities, and events. This meeting provided an excellent opportunity for parents and students to better know this year’s officers, advisors, and the chapter. The Paulding FFA is excited for a new school year full of new memories and experiences!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
