A $1,000 National FFA SAE grant in Resource Systems has been awarded to Reese Morris of Oregon,MO. Reese is currently a freshman at South Holt R-1 and is a Greenhand member of the South Holt FFA.

Upon completion, FFA members must submit a comprehensive report regarding their career development experience. Reese was selected to receive this grant from a pool of 3,500 applicants nation wide. The highly competitive awards required Reese to fill out an SAE plan that included a detailed budget, SMART goals, and timeline. Reese will use the funds to support her beekeeping supervised agricultural experience. Reese will be using flow hives for this endeavor in hopes of promoting honey production and minimizing human and bee contact.Reese is the daughter of Colby and Kathy Morris of Oregon.

The South Holt FFA celebrated National FFA Week February 18-25 with a number of events including dress up days, a petting zoo, and the annual community FFA breakfast. Students spent Monday the 20th preparing for the upcoming week, practicing for Career Development Events, and working on the chapter scrapbook. Tuesday kicked off
twin day and teacher appreciation. Many members brought desserts for the high school teacher's lounge and wrote thank you notes to their teachers and staff. Wednesday proved to be just as exciting as students drove their tractors to school and Thursday we celebrated our Greenhands and the National FFA theme "Transform". Members who participated in drive your tractor to school were; Austin Cotton, Rachel Hunziger, and Ryan Zona. Friday rounded out the week with Blue and Gold Spirit Day as well as a new event for the South Holt FFA. For the first time, students and members hosted a small petting zoo in the shop for the elementary students. All Pre-K through 6th grade classes attended to learn about and pet the goats, chicks, and dog that were all part of the petting zoo. After an exciting week, members were up bright and early to serve biscuits and gravy at the annual community breakfast. This year nearly 70 patrons were served the biscuit and gravy entree, eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sausage. The South Holt FFA would like to thank the community, staff and administration of South Holt, and it's various supporters for all they contribute to our chapter throughout the year and for making this FFA week one of the best yet! |

The South Holt Agriculture Department has been rather busy as we wrap up the second semester of the 2015-2016 school year. Students are becoming more actively engaged within their classroom through hands on learning experiences. The Horticulture and Nursery Management classes worked diligently to create beautiful Thanksgiving Day centerpieces using the principles and elements of design learned in class.Not only are students applying what they know to develop products, they are also sharing their knowledge with others. Each student in the Animal Science class developed a children's book that explains the digestive systems of cows, chickens, and pigs and presented them to the preschool and kindergarten students.
Things do not look to be slowing down any time soon for the department either! We look forward to hosting the Elementary Toy Tractor Show on Thursday December 3rd and attending the Area I FFA Trapshoot at Smithville on December 12th. Please be sure to check our Facebook or website for any additional upcoming events! |

Following the dance instruction students roasted hot dogs, made smores, and enjoyed time sitting around the bonfire.
