The Bonners Ferry FFA Chapter received a check
of $155 on Saturday, September 28, from the
Bonners Ferry Vet Clinic.
The Bonners Ferry Vet Clinic sells a variety of
Zoetis-Phizer Animal Health Products and
participates in a program that sponsored in part
by the National FFA Foundation.
The Zoetis-Phizer Animal Health donates one
percent of the profit from the local sales of
these products to our local FFA Chapter.
The Chapter plans on using the money for travel
and registration expenses, including a variety
of CDE’s, Leadership Conferences, and assist to
travel for National Convention in Louisville,
Kentucky, October 29 to November 3.
We are greatly appreciative to the National FFA
Foundation and the Bonners Ferry Vet Clinic for
participating in this program to help out the
Bonners Ferry FFA Chapter.
Anyone who purchases Zoetis-Phizer Animal Health
Products from Bonners Ferry Vet Clinic is
assisting the local FFA Chapter in being
successful in their annual program of
activities.
Thank you Bonners Ferry Vet Clinic and the
National FFA Foundation!
The Bonners Ferry FFA chapter traveled to
Moscow, Idaho, last month to participate in the
State Career Development Events.
The 10 students participated in four different
CDE’s with four to a team.
The teams included; Livestock: Emma Pluid, Abby
Davis, Andrea Maas, and Gabby Munson. Forestry:
Emma Pluid, Collin Stone, Spencer Jantz, and
Chase Hannahs. Dairy Foods: Erica Wood, Dani
Hooper, Andrea Maas, and Rebecca Smith.
Agronomy: Collin Stone, Gaby Munson, Spencer
Jantz, and Erica Wood.
The chapter had participated in these CDE’s
throughout the year plus Ag Mechanics, which
they could not participate due to a shortage of
students to fill the team.
Mr. Ineck was unavailable to attend due to
personal things, so replacing him was his
student teacher Tyler Johnson of the University
of Idaho and Kim Pluid.
Each event lasted between two and four hours and
many were outside in the hot weather.
There were 51 chapters there and 687 students
participating in the events throughout the week.
The Agronomy team took 10th place. They are our
strongest team.
Next year we plan on having all of our teams
stronger and participating in as many CDE’s as
possible. |
