Northview FFA Advocacy Program Named First Place In State; Chapter Honored

June 15, 2017

The Northview High School FFA’s “Fresh From Florida Advocacy Program” was named the first place program in the state during the FFA state convention Wednesday in Orlando.

Formerly known the Food for America program, the Fresh from Florida Advocacy Program  is designed to encourage FFA members to participate in agricultural literacy and awareness projects on the local level. The annual program, conducted by the Northview FFA in March, gave hundreds of students a chance to learn about agriculture firsthand as they got up close and personal with farm animals, farm equipment and more.  The students even had the opportunity to make their own butter and enjoy it on crackers.

In addition to this year’s first place award, the Northview High School FFA “Fresh From Florida” program was previously honored in second place in 2015 and 2016, and was awarded  first place  in Florida for three consecutive years from 2012-2014.

The Northview High School FFA was also named as one of Florida’s Finest FFA Chapters during ceremonies Wednesday in Orlando.
