Members of the Paola FFA Chapter recently earned awards during the 95th Kansas FFA Convention in Manhattan. Sixteen students represented Paola at the convention, competing in various competitions and earning awards and recognition. Hayley Hines and Wade Enman were Paola’s voting delegate, and they attended business sessions and were involved in the process of selecting this year’s state FFA officers, according to a news release from Paola FFA Advisor, John Menefee. Members of the Paola Marketing Plan Team were named State Champions for the third year in a row. Gus Wright was named a State Proficiency Award Finalist in two areas for his Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs. He was a finalist in Diversified Crop Production and Vegetable Production and was named the State Champion in the vegetable area.
Paola had five students earn the highest degree that Kansas FFA can bestow, the Kansas FFA Degree. Hayley Hines, Kara Helms, Wade Enman, Eli Meyers and Ashley Ward earned that award. Congratulations!
