The FFA chapter at Nokomis High School is busy with several events as part of National FFA Week.  The chapter is also celebrating a successful school year so far with respect to competition results, higher-level officer positions, and special initiatives.  Levi German and Kinley Stolte are the chapter’s president and vice president, respectively.  They say the action began with a community breakfast on Saturday.

German also serves as president of the FFA section his school belongs to.  The section serves as a way to connect nearby chapters geographically. 

Every chapter member keeps their own “record book” about their livestock.  These documents are then used in competitions.

The chapter is also involved in an initiative known as Race Across America, in which participants lay wreaths on late veterans’ monuments. 

Marissa Carlock is one of the FFA chapter’s advisors.  She says FFA is about more than just farming, which allows more students to grow from their experience with the organization. 

More information on Nokomis’s FFA chapter is on their Facebook page.  You can also learn more at www.ilaged.org.

Marissa Carlock, Levi German, and Kinley Stolte appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show during National FFA Week.
