The FFA chapter at Pana High School is busy with several events as part of National FFA Week.  The events are meant to be fun while also showing what they do, highlighting the importance of agriculture, and inspiring younger peers.  Adrianne Perry and Hailie Jo O’Rourke are the chapter’s reporter and treasurer, respectively.  They say the event schedule began with a pajama day on Monday and a “dress-up-like-a-farmer” day on Tuesday.

Chapter President Waylan Pauley – like Perry and O’Rourke – will be busy with FFA duties for the rest of the year.  They will have competitions, digital marketing, event planning, and more.

All three officers say being involved in the FFA has helped them gain confidence and leadership skills, all in an area they hope to pursue in the future. 

The chapter will soon be looking for its next set of members.  O’Rourke, Perry, and Pauley pitch the introductory coursework along with the organization’s engaging and broad experiences when encouraging new members to join. 

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