🥇UNITED FFA OFFICER BOOKS ALL EARN GOLD RATING!!! 🥇
Over the past year, the United FFA officers team have worked diligently to complete the 3 National FFA Officer book requirements. These are extremely in-depth record books that are evaluated based on a stringent rubric. The records within the books cover an entire year of the United FFA chapter's records, achievements, financials, meeting minutes, and more!
Though the books are linked to the officers who hold the respective offices, these GOLD RATINGS have been a huge team effort, and we could not be more proud of this team's achievements!

16 United FFA Member traveled to Columbus, Ohio this weekend to attend Ohio FFA’s Connect & I am conferences with 300 other Ohio FFA members!
Connect Conference is for 9th & 10th grade students. They were introduced to helping others feel connected. Students analyzed why an effort to connect with others must be made. Students examined the relationship between trust and influence. Students left feeling motivated to create change.
I Am Conference is for 11th & 12th grades to be introduced to summarizing their self-concept. Students used identity-based goal setting principles to determine who they want to become. Students used their habit loop to create actionable steps to accomplishing their identity-based goals and use them to prioritize their time.
We wrapped up the trip with a trip to “Get Air trampoline park” for a fun activity to burn off some energy!
United FFA Memebers are living out the FFA Motto everyday:
