Medina Chapter of the FFA

ANNOUNCEMENT! Join us for our Cow to Cone Virtual Field Trip Series in partnership with Robbins Family Grain and North Harbor Dairy and Old McDonald's Farm on T...uesdays this May and June. In 40 minutes on each Tuesday we will learn about a different element of how a dairy farm raises and cares for their animals, and our final field trip ends with an ice cream making extravaganza. Early classroom registration for this series will include sensory items and tools used on a dairy farm shipped to you for your students to explore. Teachers can register for the entire series, or individual topics and dates. Explore the topics, find additional details, and register for the Cow to Cone Virtual Field Trip Series today! https://ny.agclassroom.org/programs/virtual/

Learning to do, Doing to Learn..... Junior FFA member Mason E. planting a row of arborvitae for a wind/snow break (in a few years). Good job Mason!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Evie Schultz placed FIRST in NYSFFA Western Region SubState Extemporaneous Speaking and will be representing Medina FFA at the State Convention this May!! She narrowly missed being a two-contest contestant with a third place in Prepared Speaking (only the top two move on to the finals). Very proud of her accomplishments! Good luck at finals Evie!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! These four young women have a very bright future ahead of them. Mr. Lyndaker would have been as proud as I am not just of what you have done.... but what you will do. Thank you to the Lyndaker Family and those that contributed (in person and anonymously). You have given these ladies a nice start to their collegiate experience. https://orleanshub.com/4-medina-ffa-students-receive-inaug/

Do you have an UNPRECEDENTED amount of flexibility in your job or school schedule as we work-learn from home? This Thursday morning I can help take care of that...... all you need is a computer and we can send you a link to help interview agriscience students about their projects. None of them did their projects on the social science fall out of the Royal Family’s schism with Harry and Meghan - but you never know what other groundbreaking discoveries you could come across. The agriscience fair is from 8:30-12 (at the latest - you definitely spent more time binging Schitt’s Creek this pandemic) on Thursday and you can wear your pajama bottoms and refill your coffee as many times as you want during that time. Let me know if you might have a little love in your heart and adaptability in your schedule and I’ll connect you with the right people.

CONGRATULATIONS to senior Evie Schultz! She will be representing Medina FFA in the Western Sub-State Leadership Development Events in both Senior Prepared Speaking and in Senior Extemporaneous Speaking! Congrats Evie!!
