🌽 Central Community FFA at State Conference! 🌽

Central Community FFA members attended the 98th Iowa FFA Leadership Conference on April 20–21! Throughout the event, members competed in Poultry Evaluation, served as delegates, attended workshops, participated in the Massing of the Flags, received Iowa FFA Degrees, connected with agriculture employers and colleges, and explored projects from chapters across the state.

Attendees included Zane Embretson, Corbyn Clark, Aaron Fangman, Crystal Goodrich, Lukas Friedlein, Logan Everitt, Leila Schaffer, Millie Burns, Reagan Heavens, and Abby Baker. On day two, Caden Fette, Mayleigh Medberry, Avery Fette, and Adalyn Fette joined our crew!

They were proud to be among more than 6,000 Iowa FFA members who took part in this incredible experience!

The high school boys track team enjoyed a great night of weather and competition in Oelwein last night! The team recorded 8 placings, 4 new personal records, and 3 additions or moves on the Central Top 10 list.

Our main focus was on the relay events, and the progress is really showing. The handoffs are cleaner, the chemistry is improving, and the results are starting to stack up. A lot of positive momentum right now, and the hard work is paying off!

The Central boys varsity golf team competed in an 18-hole tournament in Guttenberg today, finishing with a team score of 351. Couldn’t have asked for better weather - it was a great day to be out on the course! Griffen Hammersland led the way with an 83, good for a 4th place finish overall. Nice work, boys! ⛳️

Our Manufacturing Class recently completed a meaningful group project - building burial flag display cases to give back to those who have served. 🇺🇸

Students had the honor of presenting the finished cases to Clayton County Veterans Affairs Administrator Chris Jordan. This project gave students the opportunity to learn new skills while making a lasting impact in our community.

Great work to everyone involved! 👏
