FYI!
When registering an athlete on the AFC athletics site, it may be easier to use a computer rather than a phone. If using a phone, Google Chrome may be the best option as a web browser. The website doesn't seem to run well on other web browsers.

Congratulation to Jay Long for receiving his American FFA Degree. To be eligible to receive the American FFA Degree, members must meet qualifications such as receiving a State FFA Degree, holding active membership for the past three years, completing secondary instruction in an agricultural education program and operating an outstanding supervised agricultural experience program. Community service, leadership abilities and outstanding scholastic achievement are also required. This is the highest honor that the National FFA Organization bestows on a member and places Jay in a special group of FFA members. #AFCFFA
The AFC FFA finished out the last two days of the National FFA Convention with two early morning sessions: one where they saw the retiring address from Eastern Region Vice President, Miriam Hoffman, and the other where they saw American Degree recipients. They also toured Fair Oaks, where they went on both the Pig and Dairy Adventure. They saw the birthing barn, the robotic milkers, and so many baby pigs! They got to practice ultrasound skills and even got their own picture for the fridge! #AFCFFA
The pumpkin contest brought out a lot of talent this year!
Day 2 of National FFA Convention: FFA Members explored the FFA Expo and Shopping Mall, watched the 4 Parliamentary Procedure finalist teams and had a nice dinner at a steak and seafood restaurant. #AFCFFA
