On Wednesday, our Nursery & Landscape team hit the ground running, starting the week with their competition! 🌿🪴 We’re so proud of their hard work and dedication.
Meanwhile, other Wood River FFA members spent the day growing as leaders—attending a leadership workshop focused on how to be proactive and make a positive impact. 💡🌟 They also joined thousands of others at Session 1, launching the week with energy, inspiration, and plenty of blue corduroy pride! 💼💛
To top off the day, members visited J.P. Acres in Lincoln, where they explored the farm, learned about sustainable practices, and had some hands-on fun with llamas—walking them, feeding them, and learning about their care! 🦙🌱
We’re just getting started—stay tuned for more updates from our amazing week in Lincoln!
