Brewster FFA students recently had the opportunity to attend the Washington FFA State Convention in Pullman, WA, and we are so proud of the way they represented our school and community. ❤️🎉
FFA is much more than farming. It is an intracurricular student organization connected to agricultural education that helps students build leadership, career skills, public speaking, teamwork, confidence, and real-world problem-solving skills.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Hemmer and Mr. Dezellem for the months of preparation, coaching, organizing, and encouragement that helped our students qualify for state. Since Mrs. Hemmer was on maternity leave, Mr. Johanson, Nurse Nicole, and Mrs. Cavadini stepped in as the three FFA State Convention newbies to help drive, organize, and chaperone with Mr. Dezellem. It is safe to say the three newbies together equal approximately one Mrs. Hemmer, and we now have an even deeper appreciation for both Mrs. Hemmer and Mr. Dezellem, who somehow make the organized chaos of State Convention look manageable.
Please join us in congratulating all of our Brewster FFA students who qualified for state and represented our chapter:

Congratulations to all of our students and advisors. Qualifying for state is not something that happens by accident. It takes preparation, practice, resilience, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work.
We are proud of you, Brewster FFA! 🐻 ❤️
