Groton Area School District

The Groton FFA Chapter will be traveling to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN with six of the chapter officers: Caitlynn Barse, Tessa Erdmann, Tiara DeHoet, Samantha Pappas, Kansas Kroll, and Lane Krueger.  The officers were given the first chance to fill the student spots to attend this trip.  While at National FFA Convention, the students will be learning leadership and career skills while also working on personal growth to come back to GHS with ideas for growth in their chapter, school, and community.  They will attend sessions with over 65,000 other FFA members and guests that feature top motivational speakers and National FFA Officers as well as hear from top government officials like the National Secretary of Agriculture.  They will also attend leadership and career workshops put on by past National FFA Officers and top industry professionals.  During the career fair they will get a chance to interact with hundreds of the top agriculture businesses in the nation, discovering career possibilities.  This year we are also going to visit LG Seeds and receive a tour from one of their managers, taking an up close look at the seed industry.
