Students Attend State FFA Convention, Receive Awards
June 23, 2011
The Northview High, Tate High and Ernest Ward Middle FFA chapters attended the 83rd Florida FFA State Convention and Leadership Conference last week in Orlando.
Nearly 4,000 members and guests were challenged at the event to move forward with a sense of pride for agriculture, service to their community, and leadership for the FFA organization.
Students attending from Northview High School were: Courtney Solari, Stpehaine Solari, Brittany Thompson, Devin Bell, Dillian Crutchfield, Layne Purvis, Allyson Bullard, Jessica Baldwin, Allie Vidak and Lydia Weaver.
Students attending from Ernest Ward Middle School were: Haley Brown, Bethany Reynolds, Haylee Weaver, Allison Woodfin and Miranda Vidak.
Three North Escambia students received the coveted State FFA Degree, the highest honor bestowed on any regular member of the Florida FFA. Recipients were Stephanie Solari and Allie Vidak from Northview High, and Emily Higdon from Tate High.
Four Florida FFA members were announced as finalists in the Agri-Entrepreneurship Education Program, which is designed to increase the amount of entrepreneurship being taught in local agriculture programs across the country. The Agri-Entrepreneurship Award honors FFA members who have recognized a market opportunity that was overlooked by others and conceived a plan to pursue that opportunity. Honored from Northview High school were Charles Rolin and Allie Vidak.
The Northview High School FFA was one of five 2011 Chapter Cooperative Award finalists. The award measures how active a chapter has been in cooperating with other organizations and agencies within their community, along with teaching cooperative business principals.
Northview High was also honored as a one of Florida’s Premier FFA Chapters. The award recognizes superior achievement by chapters in both agricultural education and the FFA. To be eligible for this award, a chapter must be proficient in several areas which include alumni and community partnerships, financial planning and public relations, along with recruitment and other FFA activities.
