Adams-Friendship FFA Chapter
By Rebecca Grabarski
The Adams-Friendship FFA Chapter focuses on leadership, service, and education. Before COVID, the chapter would provide education to all students in the district from 4K to seventh grade. These activities included reading to students, tours, farm days, safety days, and career days.
Members also learn leadership by participating in conferences across the state and nation. Chapter members serve the community by hosting cleanups, visiting residence homes, and donating food to the food pantry.
This year, members held an animal parade for residents at Villa Pines. Members also visited local farms to learn about pumpkins, potatoes, and cranberries.
