Chanute FFA

The final day of the 98th Kansas FFA Convention saw numerous Chanute FFA members recognized for their accomplishments!

At the 5th Session on Friday, Chanute FFA was recognized as a Gold Level chapter, the highest category a chapter can be awarded. Max Hendrickson was awarded the Reinhardt Family Scholarship here as well.

During the 6th Session, 11 Chanute FFA members were awarded the State FFA Degree, the most of any chapter in the state! This is the highest degree our state can bestow on its members. Receiving the State FFA Degree were: Luke Bowman, Kiley Dillow, Max Hendrickson, Kayci Raida, Autumn Waggoner, Mylee Miller, Karter Naff, Tyler Kepley, Drake Schulz, Marie Wright, and Presley Henson.

The final session saw Max Hendrickson recognized at the Southeast District Star in Agricultural Placement and a finalist for the State Star award.

This convention has been one to remember and we are proud of the hard work and dedication it took throughout the year to earn all these accomplishments. Thank you to all our parents and supporters who help make Chanute FFA possible!

Much like the original Founding Fathers, the Chanute Founding FFAthers were outmatched at the beginning of the Revolutionary War (AKA: the annual Kansas FFA Alumni Dodgeball Tournament), accumulating a measly 0-4 record to begin. However, the Delaware must’ve froze over, as they ended with two strong wins in the end - including some SportsCenter Top 10 highlight worthy plays against the Red Coats (AKA: Uniontown) from George Washington (AKA: Mylee Miller).

While we didn’t dominate on the Dodgeball court tonight, the Founding FFAthers did take home first place in the Dodgeball Team Costume Contest!

Please join our alumni and supporter group for their final meeting of the year tomorrow!
