Burlington FFA had a fantastic year! To start off the year, the freshmen competed in the Greenhand Quiz CDE, and Lauren Lagos was third-high individual and Anna Motycka was the state champion.
Also in the fall, the Opening Ceremonies team received fourth place at the state contest. The chapter spent the winter preparing for the state CDEs where they did very well. The Nursery Landscape team received second, the Meat Evaluation team received third, the Ag Communications team received fifth, the Ag Sales received fifth, and the Milk Quality and Food Science teams also competed.
This year we had many kids give speeches and they all did very well, with Bayli Hyde advancing to the state speech contest. The Parliamentary Procedure team also did very well in the state contest, placing second.
As a reward for studying hard and competing well the FFA members were taken to the state convention to celebrate their accomplishments and have fun. At the state convention Jonathan Armbruster was awarded a proficiency award and Tanner Rieger, Hyde and Armbruster received their state degrees.
Eight members were selected and participated in the FFA state chorus, which is the most from any FFA chapter in the state. Hyde was also a candidate for state FFA secretary and she made run-off.
