The FFA is an organization that is dedicated to strengthening the leadership skills and agricultural knowledge of high school students throughout the nation. The FFA isn’t just cows and plows, it revolves around speaking competitions, teams dedicated to judging citrus, livestock and trees. Also, showing judges how well one can raise their Supervised Agriculture Experience Project (SAE Project). All of these exciting activities are done while traveling throughout the nation. The FFA isn’t exclusively just for aspiring farmers, but anyone who is interested in growing as an individual.

The club that is dedicated to National Blue and Corn Gold is seeking some more teal and black, which is why the Welcome Back Social was held August 24, 2016 (pictures below). Pioneer Valley’s own FFA chapter is looking for more members to recruit into the intriguing memories this year has to offer. This school year’s chapter officers consist of Daniel Segura (President), Natalya Speer (Vice President), Brigette Vargas (Secretary), DJ Claborn (Treasurer), Judith Zavala (Reporter), Michael Dulay (Sentinel), and Michelle Ambriz and Gennessa Garcia (Historians). They are eager to recruit and meet all PV students who are interested in the program. If you are one of these interested students, talk to your counselor or one of the Agriculture Advisor’s. Such as Mr. Ponce, Mr. Guerra, Mr. Wonnell, Ms. Linne, or student teacher Ms. Costa about joining an Agriculture class, you won’t regret it!
