FFA: Final Words Of Officers Mikayla Kraft, School Correspondent It has been a wild ride for the 2022-2023 Broadwater FFA officer team. It has been full of laughs, arguments, and stressful times.
Throughout it all, we have stuck together as a team and will be able to continue our friendship in the future. We have retiring addresses from our officers in these next few articles and will also address this more at our FFA Banquet on April 17th. Food is freely provided, and we will have the director of Montana FFA operations, Kelsey Proue, as our guest speaker. Awards will be given, and businesses will be recognized. It is an amazing time of the year to get in touch with the community and generally the FFA chapter. We encourage the community to come! What do you have to lose?
In light of the upcoming chapter banquet, Lane Santi is first up on the retiring officer addresses! Lane Santi is finishing his sophomore year of high school. He is 16 years old and holds the Sentinel officer position. He is responsible for mainly welcoming people into the meeting room and chapter. He ensures that the room is comfortable and not filled with tension and assists the president in maintaining order. He learned better public speaking skills through this year in FFA as well as his officer position. His next motivation is to compete in more competitions to make it to the state competition.
Codie Skillman is 18 and a senior in high school. Codie holds the historian position. She keeps a record of the chapter’s events and activities by keeping copies of images, newspaper articles, and more in a scrapbook. Her favorite part of Broadwater FFA was the John Deere Ag Expo and getting the chance to sincerely be a part of a great organization. She loves how welcoming everybody in the Broadwater FFA chapter is and if she had to do high school again, she would continue to run in the upcoming years.
Ross MacDonald is finishing his sophomore year and is 16 years old. He holds the treasurer's position. His role is to keep a record of receipts and disbursements. He assures that our FFA chapter can be financially independent and encourages thrift among the members. He learned how to remain diligent when it comes to finances and learning leadership skills through the Agricultural Sales competition. He loves how close everybody throughout FFA is and that there is never a dull moment. He is running for a position for the 2023-2024 school year and is motivated to enhance his knowledge in the business world.
FFA has given these students the ability to expand their horizons and open new doors that would have been unimaginable 4 years ago. In the upcoming year, skills learned in FFA will benefit them in a multitude of ways throughout their walk of life. These students have worked insanely hard all year round. I encourage you to attend!
