High individual winners were April Rich, first place in timber cruising and J.P. Leonard, first place in general knowledge. Overall, the Carr FFA team was fourth in the state. Congratulations to these students and this newly chartered FFA chapter!
Carr FFA competed in the sub-district contest on Dec. 10 at J.R. Arnold High School. Teams entered the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the Parliamentary Procedure events. The Opening and Closing Ceremonies Career Development Event is open only to middle school students. The Carr FFA team won first place. The Parliamentary Procedure also won first place and both teams will compete at the district contest on January 21 at Sneads High School. Good luck to these teams as they travel to the district competition.
