Northview’s Food For America Program Wins Florida’s Top Honor
June 14, 2013
Thursday, the Northview High School FFA Chapter was awarded the first place 2013 Fresh from Florida Advocacy Award during the Florida FFA State Convention in Orlando.
Formerly known the Food for America program, the program is designed to encourage FFA members to participate in agricultural literacy and awareness projects on the local level.
The local Food for America Program, conducted by the Northview FFA in March, gave over 1,100 students a chance to learn about agriculture firsthand as they got up close and personal with farm animals, farm equipment and more at the Northview campus. The students even had the opportunity to make their own butter and enjoy it on crackers.
Earlier in the year, members of the Northview High School FFA officer team visited several area elementary schools to read ag-related books to students.
The Northview High School FFA Food for America program has been honored as the number one program in the state multiple times.
