Yesterday, some middle and high school students who participated in the new FFA (Future Farmers of America) program traveled to this year's State Convention. Four of our high school students competed in the Dairy Cattle Evaluation contest and placed 2nd overall! This is quite an accomplishment for a dedicated group who had never competed before. Congratulations to Julia C., Storm G., Emilee H., and Breanna M. This group will be advancing to the regional competition at the Eastern States Exposition! All of our students exhibited tremendous cooperation and resiliency and were a fantastic portrayal of how we should represent ourselves, our school, and our community. Way to go Slaters!
Reminder: The last student day for all Slate Valley Schools is Tuesday, June 20th with an early dismissal.
