A number of Manor FFA students were honored at the PA FFA Mid-Winter Convention which took place at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex.
18 members of Manor FFA received the prestigious Keystone FFA Degree. This is the highest number of state degree recipients the club has ever received.
To qualify, the students had to participate in five school/service activities outside of the FFA chapter, complete over 25 hours of community service, and work 300 hours in a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) or invest $1,000 in their SAE project.
The Keystone Degree is the highest state-level award an FFA member can receive.
The new Keystone Degree recipients are Lathan Axe, Ryan Brenneman, Emily Burkhart, Lexi Eshleman, Nate Frey, Sara Gehr, Abby Harnish, Grace Keller, Josh Margevich, Lydiah Nichols, Emily Railing, Jenna Railing, Madeline Rohrer, Weston Shertzer, Sarah Souhrada, Hudson Stewart, Chase Vinson, and KK Welch.
Additionally, 15 first-year Manor FFA students received their FFA jackets through the FFA Foundation’s jacket program. Students had to complete an application and write an essay about what the FFA means to them.
The jacket recipients are Sam Deamer, Sam Gerlach, Avery Grager, Kara Harnish, Maggie Herr, Emma Jayne, Addie Montgomery, Gaines Pannel, Nancy Railing, Ja’Zion Reyes, Parker Rineer, Jaxon Roop, Elsie Shaiebly, Kiki Smith, and Gideon Stewart.
Congratulations on your hard work, students!
