The St. Ansgar FFA chapter was chartered in 1940. Local Agricultural Education programs are comprised of three components including Classroom Instruction, FFA, and Supervised Agricultural Experience projects. Today’s FFA members are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Through agricultural education and hands-on learning, they are preparing for more than 250 unique career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industries.
The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 669,989 student members who belong to one of 8,630 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The organization is also supported by 459,514 alumni members in 2,236 alumni chapters throughout the U.S.
The St. Ansgar FFA Chapter had 40 members attend the Air Insanity trip. The students had a great time at Air Insanity!
The St. Ansgar FFA Officers prepared a meal for all the faculty and staff at the St. Ansgar School. We also host a faculty appreciation lunch. The faculty enjoyed the delicious meal and the members had a lot of fun cooking it for them. Our teachers are very supportive of our FFA members and their achievements. Even some of the teachers were involved in the dress up days this year!
