WH FFA hosted Dec. leadership night
This year the West Holmes FFA had the opportunity to host a leadership night on Dec. 13 with FFA state officers Delaney Moore, Chloee Howard and Kaydence Morris. Twenty schools are chosen in the state each year to be a host site for the leadership nights.
The event was hosted in the West Holmes High School commons, where the FFA fed attendees a chicken dinner before the evening of leadership started.
A dozen total schools with more than 200 members attended the leadership night, themed “The Road to Leadership.”
“Together we learned many new leadership skills and had lots of fun,” reporter Garrett Fowler said. “A big thanks to the state officers for coming to help us out with this night.”
The FFA also would like to extend thanks to Brian Mellor for helping to cook the chicken, Shoemaker Custom Apparel for making the T-shirts, and sponsors Darling Ingredients and Rodhe’s IGA.
All the content was created by the state officers.
On Dec. 19 members of the West Holmes FFA chapter attended the annual Christmas on the Equator event hosted by Northwestern High School FFA.

This holiday season the West Holmes FFA members rang bells at Walmart to raise money for The Salvation Army this holiday season. The members have lots of fun doing this every year. Some dress up in fun outfits, and others just enjoy their time together.
This year the FFA raised $2,625.22 for The Salvation Army in 25 shifts, and 46 members participated. Thank you to the community for donating to this amazing cause.
