PALS - Some of you may have noticed that PALS has been cut down to only once a month now. Because of our members' schedules, we felt it was best to stop doing PALS every 2 weeks. Towards the end of the school year, we may start doing PALS twice a month again depending on the involvement from our members. Our January PALS date is Tuesday, January 12th.
January FFA Meeting - Our January FFA Meeting will be taking place on Wednesday, January 20th. Please be sure to attend! With us not having a December meeting, we need to be sure that our members are aware of what's going on! We have a ton of items on the agenda for the evening so please make this a priority. To make up for our December meeting, we will be having a White Elephant gift exchange as well as our carry in meal. The meal will start at 6:00p.m. followed by the meeting. After the meeting is adjourned, we will have our White Elephant Gift Exchange. Please see the December Meeting post below for details.
Dairy Foods - Dairy Foods practices have started and we're hoping for another successful year! We have 16 members who will be competing at the Indiana State Dairy Foods Contest on Saturday, January 30th located at Purdue University. During this contest, members will be identifying cheeses, detecting defects in milk, examining problems in milker unit parts, identifying non-dairy products from real dairy products, and taking a written test over milk marketing and production.
Chapter Meeting Contest - This year, our chapter is hoping to compete in the Chapter Meeting Contest! The concept of this contest is to become familiar with using correct parliamentary procedure by conducting a "fake" FFA meeting. This is an extremely intense contest and requires that you attend 100% of the practices. If you are planning on running for a chapter office sometime during your FFA career, this will be a great way for you to become familiar with running a meeting! The call-out will be on Monday, January 25th from 3-4:00p.m. with practices starting in February. Please sign-up in Mrs. Markley's room if you are planning on attending this call out.
Proficiencies and State Degrees - There have been two dates set aside for members filling out their proficiencies and/or state degrees: Monday, January 11th 3-3:34p.m. and Tuesday, January 19th 3-3:45p.m. These applications will be due on Friday, January 29th to Mrs. Markley or Mrs. Jarrett. If you have questions, please see either of the advisors.
Leadership Development Workshop - Gianna Hartman, Jesse O'Hara, Taylor Hartman, and Kyle Quick will be heading to Trafalgar, IN for Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) on Friday, January 15th to participate in a weekend-long leadership conference. During this conference, these chapter officers will be learning how to better their leaderships skills and focus on teamwork.
Please check back within the next week for further information on FFA Week! This is one of the most exciting weeks in FFA and we want all of our members to participate in our activities! If you have questions about any of the information provided on this blog, please see Gianna Hartman.
