Today, five outstanding students - Arely Del Angel, Bailey Kinnaird, Caleb Martin, Garrett O'Dell, and Carlos Sims - had the opportunity to speak at Rotary about their experiences at RYLA. They were nominated for this program because of their strong leadership, work ethic, and excellent behavior. Their presentation truly showcased how much they gained from the experience. We are so proud of these young leaders!

Magnolia FFA had an outstanding showing at the 98th Arkansas FFA Convention! Michael Boyd was named the State Champion in Poultry Production – Placement Proficiency! This award recognizes students with exceptional skill and commitment in their SAE projects. Michael’s work in poultry production showcases real-world experience and responsibility in a placement setting. He will now submit his application to the National FFA Proficiency Awards! Our chapter earned the National Superior Chapter Award, honoring our dedication to planning and executing high-quality activities that develop student leadership, promote growth, and strengthen agriculture across three pillars: Growing Leaders, Building Communities, and Strengthening Agriculture. We were also recognized as an Affiliated Chapter, meaning every student in our agriculture program can participate in classroom instruction, a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), and FFA leadership development. Tatum Carter proudly represented us in the Farm Bureau Discussion Meet, engaging in a collaborative conversation on how FFA and Farm Bureau can work together to tackle key issues in agricultural education. Michael Boyd also competed in the Job Interview Contest, putting his employability skills to the test through a challenging application, interview, and follow-up communication process. He represented Magnolia FFA with professionalism and confidence! Connor Waters and Kaiden Hearnsberger received their Arkansas FFA State Degree, the highest honor the state can bestow on a member, recognizing their exceptional involvement, leadership, and growth in FFA. We are PROUD of each of our members and the powerful impact Magnolia FFA continues to make across our school, community, and the agriculture industry.
