On National Teach Ag Day (March 15th), PV FFA held yet another pancake breakfast for the teachers and staff of PVHS.

This time we were celebrating Agricultural Education. Over breakfast, we talked to the teachers about the importance of Agriculture Education programs in our country. We discussed how there is a national shortage of agricultural educators in our country and how the National Association of Agricultural Educators sponsored Teach Ag Day to promote awareness for Ag Ed and to get more students interested in teaching ag when they get older.

This was a great way to show PVHS just what Ag Ed is really about!

On March 8th, 2012 PV FFA celebrated National Agriculture Day. We hosted a pancake breakfast for all of the Teachers here at PVHS.

The FFA members prepared the breakfast, served the breakfast and talked to the teachers about why agriculture was important and how all of their food came to be. The teachers and administration were all very excited to hear about what was going on in the world of agriculture and what the FFA members were doing as well.

This was the first year that we had done this event and it was a huge success! So much so that we are planning another one for National Teach Ag Day!

_On March 2nd, 2012 PV FFA went down to the University of Arizona to participate in the 2012 Arizona Association FFA Spring Conference! We competed in 3 different CDEs: Aquaculture, Wildlife and Job Interview.

Our Aquaculture Team did very well. Isaiah Govea received the award for having the highest test score for Aquaculture in the State!!! He also was awarded 7th place individually in the Aquaculture CDE. Our Aquaculture team also placed 3rd in the state! Great job guys!!!

Our Wildlife team also competed at state and while they did not win anything, they had a great time identifying animals, completing a GPS course and doing the many more team and individual practicums in the CDE.

Tanner Kemp competed in the Job Interview CDE. Tanner had to submit a resume, write a business letter, go through several rounds of interviews as well as complete a phone interview for this CDE. While Tanner also did not place he had a great time and learned some valuable things!

While waiting for CDE results, our members were able to participate in a campus scavenger hunt hosted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Students got a self-guided tour of a portion of UA's campus and got to talk to various student organizations as well as got free t-shirts!

Spring Conference was a great time for all of the students involved!
