Students had the opportunity to discover the Infinite Potential within themselves and their chapters.
We had so much fun and cannot wait until next year's National Convention.
Paradise Valley FFA traveled to Indianapolis to join 55,000 others attending the 83rd Annual National FFA Convention. The theme for this year's convention was "Infinite Potential". We attended sessions with guest speakers, listened to speeches from the National Officers, traveled to attractions in Indianapolis, toured booths at the College and Career show and much more.

What is it? For the better part of a century formalized Agricultural Education courses have been taught in secondary education schools and students have been participating in the Future Farmers of America (more commonly referred to today as “FFA”). The purpose of the FFA then is the same as it is today – to prepare young people with the necessary skills for premier leadership, personal growth and career success in the industry of agriculture. FFA has a long history and close ties to farmers, ranchers and others who are in and support agriculture. The special program enacted by the Arizona legislature this year will allow FFA to continue to represent the best traditions of rural Arizona as well as the future of the agriculture industry as provided in part by the FFA. The goal for the license plate allow those who are directly involved as well as those who may only be familiar with agriculture to display their affinity with country living and the true heritage of Arizona. How do you get one? On Sunday, October 24, the option to purchase the plate will appear on servicearizona.com. Go online or visit the closest MVD office to purchase one. The license plates will be available for use on all passenger vehicles as well as Farm/Ranch and commercial vehicles. You may also personalize and/or get it registered as a handicap plate. How much does it cost? The cost to vehicle owners is $25 per year. From that fee $17 out of the $25 will be returned to Arizona FFA each year. The funds received will be used to support Agricultural Education programs and FFA chapters in Arizona. Arizona agriculture – It’s in the field, the pasture, on your dinner plate… and now it’s on your car! On October 14, 2010 we came together for our 2nd Chapter Meeting this year and we had a blast! Not only was there some good discussion but we carved Pumpkins! How great is that?!?! There was a small competition between the groups. Who could carve the best pumpkin????
