Central A&M’s FFA chapter is enjoying consistent success when it comes to competitions and awards.  Most recently, the chapter topped the table at a poultry judging competition at Meridian-Macon High School.  In addition, advisor Betsy Burgener was recently surprised with a district-level award from the FFA and has been nominated for another. 

Chapter President Adyson Lowrance and Reporter Charleigh Minott helped orchestrate the surprise assembly.  They had contrasting back-stories for joining the FFA. 

The chapter emphasizes community service.  They aim for 50 hours of service as a chapter per academic year. 

Lowrance and Minott’s involvement extends, as well, into recruiting the next set of members.  They plan to visit middle school classes to share what the FFA is all about. 

The two officers say their involvement in the organization has helped introduce them to experiences they would never otherwise have had. 

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

Adyson Lowrance and Charleigh Minott appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show during National FFA Week.
