🌟 Huge THANK YOU to Nebraska State FFA Officer, Trey Stewart, for visiting our chapter last Friday! 🌟
Our students had an awesome time learning through your workshops—diving into FFA, teamwork, the Crockpot Method (the importance of slowing down in life), and The Game of Life (planning for the future). Your energy and insight made a lasting impact, and we appreciate the time you took to invest in our chapter!
Thank you for inspiring the next generation of leaders! 💙💛 #FFAProud #GrowingLeaders #MinatareFFA
