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.

This has been a great year at UFV, and we have our friends at SUS partly to thank for that. Yet while the staff of SUS wandered mild-mannered about the campus and the office this year busy doing their good works on behalf of the student body, little did we know that each of them had their own surprising secrets outside campus life. So now, let us take a look at our past year’s VP social, VP academic, VP finance, rep-at-large, communications administrator and SUS president and their fascinating lives. A hearty congratulations goes out to Sam Broadfoot, Ryan Petersen, and Carlos Vidal on their re-election who will, along with Jhim Burwell, be back with SUS next year, and the best of luck to Wyatt Scott and Kate Nickelchok in their future endeavours at UFV.

Last week, Evergreen turned to its big-player performers.
On Friday, the Plainsmen leaned on its defense up front. And that’s just fine with junior lineman David Kailea.
“I just knew we had to explode up front,” Kailea said. “You know, defense wins games. Up front we’ve just got to be dogs up there, explode on whatever we see.”
