The focus of National FFA Week is to tell the community and the country about the great opportunities available through FFA. From its beginnings in 1928 as the Future Farmers of America, the National FFA Organization
today reaches out to all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
FFA is committed to developing character and leadership skills, as well as preparing members for a lifetime of civic leadership and career success. As a part of National FFA Week, Frederick FFA members are planning the following special events: Teacher Luncheon
County Livestock Show
Radio Spots
Frederick FFA members are the leaders of tomorrow and dedicated to community service activities like the Annual Oyster Fry. Whether it’s working with elementary children or serving as a chapter officer, FFA members make a positive difference on those around them. They are success-oriented students who are driven to achieve their goals. FFA builds leaders, and leaders impact the future. FFA members have opportunities to attend national leadership conferences, start their own businesses, and apply for awards and scholarships. Through classroom instruction and hands-on learning, agricultura education and FFA are making a positive difference in the lives of students. FFA members are our future engineers, scientists, teachers and producers. One of every five Americans is employed in the food fiber and natural resources industries, and FFA members are preparing for one of those 300 careers in agriculture.
National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company and Carhartt as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. For more information about National FFA Week, visit www.ffa.org/ffawek or contact the Frederick FFA Chapter advisor Bill Blankenship at the Frederick High School.
