FFA Students Medal at National Convention

Staff and students at CHS were very pleased this week to welcome back the FFA participants from the 81st National FFA Convention held October 22nd through 25th in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Christiana High School FFA representatives were just a few of the 55,000 FFA members and guests.  Our students competed against other top FFA members in the country in various activities related to agricultural skills.  CHS was represented by four teams:  Landscaping, Forestry, Poultry, and Agronomy.

The Landscaping Team, sponsored by Mr. Thomas Lundy, consisted of Angelia Montes, Ellen Baca, Amber Keen, and Dylan Oakes.  They received a gold for their excellent participation and teamwork.  Each member was also awarded individually.  Angelica and Ellen received gold medals, while Amber and Dylan were honored with silver medals.

The Poultry Team was awarded a silver and was sponsored by Ms. Julie Emerson.  Individual members consisted of returning CHS student Jessica Piatt, who earned a silver medal.  Renee Poole, Darine Howze, and Ashley Szczerba all received bronze medals for excellent performances.

Mr. Andrew Beadenkopf led the Agronomy Team to a bronze medal.  Team members Justin Winnington, Vinny D'Occhio, Jaime Piatt, and Rebekah Beeson all received individual bronze medals as well. 

The Forestry Team, lead by Mr. Richard Ferenz, was awarded a bronze medal.  Team members Krystal Shortlidge and Nirali Patel achieved individual silver medals.  Bronze medals were awarded to Krupa Patel and Alisha Beckford.  All participants did an outstanding job. 

Congratulations to these Christiana students and teachers who contributed to another successful FFA Convention.
