On the evening of September 20th, we hosted our annual back to school Ice Cream Social. Only this year, we did it a little differently.
This year we invited both the students and their parents so that they could all get a feel for what FFA is all about and what we do. We felt it was important to make this change so that the parents would be able to be more involved in their child’s FFA membership and they would be more successful.
After the opening ceremony, students went with the chapter officers for some activities while parents stayed for a brief presentation about our alumni affiliate and how they could become involved.
After the presentation concluded, the parent rejoined the students and we all shared ice cream together.
It was a great event and we hope to continue the tradition in the future to benefit both our members and their parents.
