Monday, May 13, 2024 | Author: Texas FFA News
 

During their year of service, the Texas FFA Officers travel the state and visit hundreds of schools and meet thousands of members. We asked each of them to highlight a chapter that they loved visiting this past spring. This is what they had to say...



Area I - Texline FFA
“Texline FFA was a truly welcoming chapter that made our first day of travel in Area I start on a great note. These members were involved and truly engaged in all aspects of our workshop. While they may have been small in number, they were big in heart!” - Summer Bowman




Area II - Glasscock County FFA
“Glasscock County FFA was one of the larger chapters that the travel team visited this spring in Area II. Though this chapter belongs to a small school, they see success in every aspect of competition and leadership. During our workshop, every student was well engaged and participated in our workshop!” - Henry Downing




Area III - Travis FFA
“The members of Travis FFA were ecstatic to learn about how to get more involved in the FFA! Each member was passionate about agriculture and supporting their FFA chapter.” - Jaime Hahn




Area IV - Graford FFA.
“We had a great time visiting with the Graford FFA chapter this spring. We were able to really connect with the students, and our smiles never left as we played games and had plenty of laughs. Graford FFA really made a point to make us feel welcome and bring home to us on the road.” - Isaac Hawkins




Area V - Nimitz FFA
“Nimitz FFA was one of the most refreshing schools we visited in Area V this spring. The members were eager to engage with us and were attentive during the workshops. The chapter's students were truly full of personality, and I know they will leave a legacy on the world around them!” - Weston Parr




Area VI - North Lamar FFA
“From the first greeting at a local restaurant to the overwhelming excitement during our presentation, North Lamar FFA was a joy to get to know. They were willing to participate, eager to grow, and proud to show us around their sweet home, including a Texas Eiffel Tower tour! It's people like them that make me proud to represent Area VI, and I look forward to seeing all the amazing things these students will accomplish.” - Jacqueline Rand




Area VII - Tivy FFA
“This spring, we spent time in Kerrville with the members of Tivy FFA. We shared a passion for our beloved Aggies at Johnny Manzel's high school and felt right at home with members who welcomed us with open arms. Thank you, Tivy FFA, for a great visit!” - Nicole Pruski




Area VIII - Bruceville-Eddy FFA
“I absolutely loved getting to visit Bruceville Eddy FFA. Everyone made the temporary classroom work and helped each other throughout the workshop. I had a good laugh when the officer team brought out a big rubber chicken during photos. These FFA members were attentive and energetic, and I know they have become strong leaders in their community.” - Paris Sanchez




Area IX - Hardin FFA
“I was greeted by the smiling faces of Hardin FFA when I returned home for spring travel week. They opened their hearts to Isaac, Elise, and I. They participated fully in our workshop and even contributed their thoughts to a group discussion. And, of course, they included us in one of their TikToks, which made the visit that much more fun. With it being so close to my home chapter, it is always great to fellowship with people who get me.” - Cheyenne Cooley




Area X - Harlingen FFA
“From the second we walked into the doors of Harlingen High School, they made us feel right at home. The members of Harlingen FFA were nothing short of fun, and they reciprocated that fun to us throughout dinner and a great workshop at their school. Thank you to Harlingen for making us welcome in the valley.” - Blake Koether




Area XI - Sealy FFA 
“Sealy FFA was a highlight of our week in Area XI during the spring semester! This group of students showed up, actively participated, asked thoughtful questions during our Q&A time, and even showed off their talent by singing a silly song they wrote about one of their ag teachers.” - Elise Sharp




Area XII - Lake Belton FFA
“Lake Belton FFA was such a joy and blessing to visit! The officer team was so welcoming, and I loved getting to know them and hang out with them after our chapter visit. They have incredible FFA members dedicated to their program and a passion for FFA. This was easily seen throughout our workshop. I feel so blessed to meet the students and spend some time with them!” - Rylee Sassenberg
