State Convention
Our chapter had 8 members attend the 86th
Louisiana FFA State Convention this past summer. The Trip was full of fun and lots of
awards! St. Amant was recognized as a Silver
Emblem Chapter. We had 4 State Degree Recipients: Megan Bordelon, Katie Costanza, Edmond Rachal, and Jacob Smith. Katie Costanza
won first in the state for prepared public
speaking. Congratulations to our award recipients! In addition to these recognitions, our
chapter was able to manage a hunger awareness
booth in the convention expo. Our officers even
conducted a workshop as the Hunger Outbreak
Response Team! Great job to St. Amant FFA
for amplifying their state convention experience! We look forward to another successful
trip next summer.
Area IV Leadership
Over the summer the St. Amant FFA Chapter attended the
Area IV Leadership camp that was held in Bunkie. Leadership camp was filled with education, recreation and entertainment. The educational portion consisted of FFA leadership training designed to meet the needs of all members.
State FFA officers conducted all leadership training sessions. Recreation time was spent swimming, fishing, and
playing basketball or dodgeball.
At this camp, new Area IV officers were elected. Tristyn
James was interviewed by nominating committee this year
and gained a lot from the experience! There were also public speaking CDE practice competitions and much more. We
encourage all members to consider going to camp and participate in all of the amazing opportunities it offers!
Washington Leadership
Conference
Our President Megan Bordelon
and Vice President Katie Costanza , had the opportunity to attend Washington Leadership
Conference this past summer.
They participated in many workshops focused on citizenship, diversity, and advocacy. They were
able to meet hundreds of members from all around the country
and even tour Washington D.C.!
Ag Promotion Tour
The St. Amant FFA continually works
with community partners to develop relationships with business professionals.
This year the St. Amant FFA Officers
spent there summer visiting local industries to seek partnership opportunities
and promote agriculture.
