The Broadus FFA chapter held its annual banquet on Monday, May 6th, 2019. Food was brought by the FFA kids and parents. Before opening ceremonies began, Megan Johnson opened with an invocation. During the meal, the year in review slideshow was presented with contest certificates honoring all members given after. Lane McGill was invited as the guest speaker and did not disappoint, talking about his memories as an FFA member and how it has benefited him. Kori Kolka and Dakota Holbrook were honored as Star Greenhand and Star Creed speaker. The freshman class was then awarded the Chapter Degree, which is the highest award that the chapter can offer. The entire junior class was recognized for earning their State Degrees, and Jerrica Gotfredson her American Degree. The American Degree is the highest degree that can be bestowed on any member. Proficiency awards followed. These include the work done by members on their Supervised Agricultural Experiences or SAE's.
