The El Centro FFA chapter made a remarkable contribution to the Imperial County Humane Society during National FFA’s Week of Service Campaign by creating 479 dog toys. Led by senior member Amber Weller, the dedicated students from the leadership team and community service committee organized a school-wide jean drive. The donated jeans provided material for the creation of durable and much-need dog toys for a local animal shelter.

Forget about love! If anything is “in the air” it’s all things FFA—from leadership conferences to a National FFA Officer visit, and everything in between.   

We're ringing in the new year with MFE and ALA conferences, the Blue Corduroy Classic, and updates on the 95th Annual California FFA State Leadership Conference! The state officers kicked off the new year with leadership training for the Made For Excellence and Advanced Leadership Academy conferences, facilitated by team leaders and California FFA’s Leadership Development Coordinator, Ms. Jasmine Flores. These conferences are held statewide at the following locations: Sacramento, Monterey, Ontario, Redding, Modesto, and Visalia.

After serving as a state officer, I began an internship with the Agricultural Council of California, as well as with the Northern California Water Association. Both these groups work hard to advocate for agriculture in our state's capitol. They know the issues facing farmers and are first in the room when a decision is being made that affects the future of agriculture.

Watsonville FFA recently hosted a fun-filled carnival for the entire community. The evening event featured music, a bounce house, a balloon artist, face painting, traditional carnival games, themed photo backdrops, and classic carnival food. With more than 100 people attending the inaugural event, the chapter hopes to make it an annual tradition. “It was a fantastic night,” said Vivienne Moran, Chapter Reporter.
