Northview FFA Chapter, Members Receive Top State Honors

June 19, 2018

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, one of many honors received by the chapter and its members.

The Northview High School FFA chapter was also name a Premier FFA Chapter, and a Florida’s Finest FFA Chapter. Raeleigh Woodfin was elected as FFA District 1 president, and State FFA Degrees were awarded to Cole Hassebrock and Cody Kite. America FFA Degrees were bestowed upon Tabithia Chavers, Brandon Korinchak and Mitchell Singleton.

Singleton also retired as retired as Area 1 state FFA vice president [earlier story...].

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 awarded first place in Florida in 2017 and three consecutive years from 2012-2014. The program received second place in 2015 and 2016.
