Over the last few weeks the Milton-Union MVCTC FFA Chapter has been busy competing in Career Development Events (CDE’s). Two students competed in the County Public Speaking CDE. Emersyn Freisthler competed in the Creed Speaking contest, where she memorized and recited The FFA Creed. Tessah Perkins competed in the Extemporaneous Public Speaking CDE. In this category, the students receive their topic upon arrival and have 30 minutes to research and write a speech before presenting it to the judges. Emersyn won first place in her category and qualified for the District Public Speaking Contest. She finished in 4th place at the District 5 contest. Next, four of our students also competed in the District 5 Ag Sales CDE for the first time in our chapter’s history. Luke Jones, Tessah Perkins, and Sophia Luciano were faced with the task of becoming sales representatives for a local trailer company and participated in mock sales. Lastly, all first year students enrolled in the Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources course competed in the state-level Greenhand Quiz CDE online, where they put their FFA knowledge to the test.
