Central Community FFA member Nate Shirbroun will be wearing his FFA jacket one last time this October at the 98th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis to receive his American FFA Degree! 🎉 We’re incredibly proud of Nate for his outstanding leadership and commitment to agriculture. He, alongside Rebecca, will be the fourth and fifth members of our chapter to receive this elite award. Congrats, Nate—your hard work has paid off, and we can't wait to cheer you on in Indianapolis! 🌾💙

🎉 Big Congratulations to Rebecca Suhr! 🎉 Rebecca has officially been approved to receive the American FFA Degree at the 98th National FFA Convention — the highest honor an FFA member can achieve! 🌟 Awarded to less than 1% of all members nationwide, this degree recognizes Rebecca’s exceptional commitment to agricultural education, leadership, community service, and her Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE). From countless hours of hard work to leading and serving her community, Rebecca’s dedication and passion have truly paid off. She will be honored this fall in Indianapolis alongside other elite FFA members from across the country. 👏 Please join us in celebrating this HUGE accomplishment — we are so proud of you, Rebecca! 💙💛
