Curtin, Chase (FFA Awards – 15 May 2019)

Last Wednesday was the annual FFA awards night. Chase was excited to dress up and wear his FFA jacket. We both anticipated him receiving top seller awards for the fruit sales. Well, we forgot about the fall pizza sales for which he received a top seller award.
He was also selected to hand out the Star Greenhand award to this year’s recipient. It was his first public speaking opportunity and he did all right.
The surprise of the evening came when Chase received the Star Award at the high school level. At the endo of the ceremony, he asked for a box to take all his goodies home.
I’m so proud of him. FFA has been a blessing. It offers volunteering and community service opportunities, lessons on teamwork and leadership-building and so much more. It’s a great way for a student to get involved that doesn’t have an athletic bone in his body.
