FFA Member of the Week

 

Name: Leah Larson

FFA Chapter: Springfield

Year in School: 10

Favorite Color: Blue

Fun Fact about you: I like strawberry jam on cheese.

 

Leah joined the FFA the summer after her 8^th grade year when she showed dairy goats at the Brown County Fair, and dairy cows at the Wright county fair! She initially joined because of her sister Seena, who is an Agricultural Education teacher and an FFA Advisor. And she has loved it ever since.

 

Leah has been involved in the Creed Speaking CDE as well as the Dairy Judging CDE and has also been involved on the Chapter FFA Officer team. She manages quite well even though being strongly outnumbered by men on her team! Some of her favorite memories of FFA are when she went to CDE’s or to state convention and got to see her old friends and meet new ones!

It is evident in Leah that FFA has made an impact in her life! And she has worked hard to give others that same opportunity! She has made it a personal goal to really reach out to freshman in her school and community and show them about the FFA. She also is passionate about informing the public about the importance of FFA, Agriculture, and Agricultural Education.

We are blessed as an FFA Association here in Minnesota to have FFA members like Leah! Congratulations on FFA Member of the Week!
