On February 8th, 2012, Paradise Valley FFA Members attended the Black Canyon FFA District CDE Field Day. We took three teams up to compete.
One of the teams competed in the Aquaculture CDE. As part of the Aquaculture CDE, team members must be able to identify different species of fish, take a written exam and perform a hands-on practicum. Our team did very well Donald Coon placed 3rd place individually and Isaiah Govea was 4th place individual and they received 2nd place as a team.
We also had one member of our chapter, Tanner Kemp, compete in the Job Interview CDE. This CDE involves the different skills required for interviewing for and obtaining a job. This CDE allows its participate to prepare for the workforce by having them put together a resume, go through different interviews, write a follow-up letter and more.
We had one other team compete and that was the Wildlife Team. This CDE involves identifying different animals found in Arizona, using GPS to navigate, using pacing to judge distance and many other skills necessary for surviving in the wild.
We are very proud of all of our CDE participants and we wish them the very best of luck as they move on to the state level to compete at the University of Arizona in March.
