FFA + Rodeo = a perfect combination! 🤠 Members of our FFA chapter attended National FFA Rodeo this afternoon in Indianapolis. The rodeo highlights the strong connection between agriculture and the western lifestyle. Competitors demonstrate skills in roping, riding and livestock handling - all rooted in agricultural education and leadership. Our students gained valuable insight into the hard work, discipline, and dedication it takes to compete at this level, and we're proud to support those who keep agricultural traditions alive! 💙💛
