The Winner High School FFA chapter was named the FFA chapter of the year at the state convention held in Brookings.
Also at the state convention, Avery Gilchrist was elected state reporter. Other WHS FFA members running for state officer were Nick Blare and Kayleb Brozik.
Wyatt DeJong, advisor of FFA in Winner, says the national chapter award program is designed to award FFA chapters that actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization.
“This recognition is both motivating for our chapter to continue to grow and also to help us celebrate the value of what our members have been doing. This award is a reflection of the hard work and leadership from all of the Winner FFA chapter officers both currently and the past two years,” said DeJong.
