A little leadership in action! 💙💛

We are proud of Braylin Wiening-Conn and Luke Parker for taking the opportunity to speak at this week’s USD 492 Board of Education meeting and provide an update on our Flinthills Agricultural Education program!

Students shared about the three components of agricultural education: classroom instruction, FFA, and Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs). They highlighted what they have been learning in their ag classes, recent FFA activities and contest successes, hands-on learning opportunities at our ag facility, community partnerships, and exciting opportunities on the horizon for our program.

Beyond sharing the many things happening within our program, this was a wonderful opportunity for students to practice public speaking, communicate their experiences, and put their leadership skills into action. It takes confidence to step forward, represent your peers, and share something you are passionate about, and we are proud of these students for doing just that!

A big thank-you to our Board of Education for providing students with the opportunity to share and for your continued time, involvement, and support of agricultural education at Flinthills. We are excited about the growth of our program and all that is ahead!
