December Meeting The December FFA meeting will be held on Monday, December 15th at 7:00 p.m. This meeting will be the meeting the Greenhand FFA Degrees are presented. In order to get your Greenhand FFA Degree, you must fulfill all requirements established by the FFA. One of these requirements is memorizing the FFA Creed.

We encourage all of our new members to reach this level of achievement. FFA members, if you are unable to attend this meeting, be sure to turn in your note the day after the meeting.
