Pequea Valley FFA members recently attended the Pennsylvania FFA Mid-Winter Convention. Several students received recognition at the event.
Among the honorees were five Pequea Valley FFA members who received FFA jackets as part of the FFA Jacket Scholarship. Receiving the scholarship from the Pennsylvania FFA Alumni were Kiersten Winey, Trey Beiler, Tyler Zook, Ethan Smucker, and Julia Shaubach. The scholarship application required each member to write an essay about what the jacket means to his or her future in FFA.
Jamie Stephan, Eden Groff, and Adrianna Reiter earned Keystone Degrees at the convention. To qualify for the award, which is the state degree for Pennsylvania FFA members, a student must have accumulated more than two years of a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) in any area of agriculture, have volunteered for more than 25 hours of community service, and have attended more than 15 FFA events at all levels.
Jamie is the current Pequea Valley FFA president. Her SAEs include agriscience research, volunteering at the Paradise Sportman's Association's trout hatchery, and working at a woodworking business. Eden's SAEs include raising market lambs, dairy beef steers, and dairy cattle. Adrianna raised dairy cattle for her SAE.
