WHAT THE CHAPTER HAS DONE OVER THE LAST YEAR

The Williamsburg FFA had an eventful spring in 2022. Students were busy studying for the County and State Envirothon Contests in April and May. The month of May also brought the Ag in the Classroom Program for the elementary students. In June, seven students competed at the PA FFA activities week in ag mechanics, milk quality and products and tractor driving. Over the summer, chapter members exhibited animals at the dairy show and livestock show and sale. Once school resumed in the fall, students attended the PA FFA Fall Leadership Conference, competed in the Blair County Land Judging Contest and made flowers for homecoming. Students sold fruit, had a Christmas party and made 15 tie-blankets for Family Services, Inc. In January, members attended the PA FFA Mid-Winter Convention to receive their Keystone Degrees and first year jackets. In February, students attended the ACES Conference in Harrisburg.
