The hard work of Branch FFA Chapter members paid off at the recent virtual Michigan FFA State Convention. Although remote, it provided students the opportunity to compete, listen to guest speakers and be a part of voting for the new state officer team.
In the competition, several Branch Area Career FFA members walked away with honors.
Eliana Stemme, a seventh-grade Junior High Public Speaker, won her first state title in her first year in FFA. Her speech was on lab-grown meat.
Kaleb Carr ended sixth place in the Greenhand Public Speaking contest with a silver award. He delivered a speech about the deer population in Michigan and in preparation, he met with the local DNR to educate himself on the topic. He made it through each level of competition and on to state. Carr made it into the final round of semi-finals.
