Northview’s FFA Honored As One Of America’s Best Chapters

The Northview High School FFA chapter was awarded one of the highest national honors presented by the National FFA Thursday afternoon.

Northview’s FFA  received the Three Star Chapter award on live national television during the National FFA Convention & Expo going on this week at Louisville, KY. About 53,000 FFA members and advisors are attending the convention through Saturday.

The program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters from throughout the county that successfully complete an annual set of required activities that encourage members to grow individually, work as a team and serve others in their community.

In addition to the national honors presented Thursday, the Northview High FFA chapter was recently honored for having the top Fresh From Florida Food Advocacy Program, formerly known as the Food for America Program, in the entire state.

The Fresh From Florida Advocacy Program is an educational program focusing on agricultural literacy in elementary schools and communities. It is a program developed to assist FFA members and all agricultural education students in leadership skill development as they reach out to youth, peers and their entire communities by sharing the world of agriculture.

Planning began in the fall of 2012 with FFA members setting goals and establishing working committees for the spring 2013 event. Through the efforts of 100 FFA members and community support, approximately 1,000 mostly elementary level students participated in agriculture awareness  through hands-on exhibits and activities.

In addition, members of the Northview High School FFA officer team visited several area elementary schools to read agriculture-related books to students.

The Florida FFA Organization has honored Northview High School FFA Food  for America program at the state level multiple years.
