Fair season has come to a close for the Athens FFA members. This summer consisted of three fairs, countless hours of practice, many new experiences, one parade, and Mrs. Bunkelman getting back in the show ring.
The American FFA Degree is the highest degree an FFA member can earn while in FFA. This degree shows the effort an FFA member has applied towards their SAE project or Supervised Agricultural Experience. Only 1% of all FFA members receive their American Degree. I am pleased to announce that the Athens FFA has had their second FFA member receive their American FFA Degree. Maleah Redman, a 2021 graduate of AHS, will be receiving her American FFA Degree this November at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. Maleah's SAE project involves adopting, training and rehoming mustangs, as well as working with other horses as time permits. Congratulations!
