Black River FFA chapter heading to district competition

The Black River High School FFA chapter has advanced to district competition.

Students recently participated in Sub-District Parliamentary Procedure Career Development at Smithville High School. The event is described as an assessment of members' ability to participate in a business meeting or other group decisions that requires decision making skills.

The chapter performed an FFA mocked-type meeting in front of a panel of judges. Each member had completed a written evaluation that contained questions that tested their knowledge of the parliamentary procedure rules.

The team is led by chapter President Katie Seger. Other members are Secretary Ally Hamilton as well as members Ridge Martin, Summer Sooy, Giani Bonidie and Addison Flynn, and alternate, Peter Howard. The team placed third.

The Novice team earned second place. Team members were President Colton Roberts, Vice President Leah Coffman, Secretary Clare Reisinger, Treasurer Olivia Bailey, Reporter Olivia Fralick, Sentinel Caroline Maat, student adviser Madelyn Groesser and member Brayden Lawhon. Rylee Howard and Adalee Hollan were alternates.

Both teams are going to the district competition.
