VERSAILLES – On November 12th the Ansonia FFA had an unforgettable night at Versailles School for Leadership night. 400 members came together from across District 5 for this exciting event.
Upon arrival, the students separated into two groups, by schools, where their leaders for the night were Jayden Hicks, Daniel Hartzell, and Ryan Bowsher.
The theme was all about music; therefore, they played music-related games that had to do with leadership along with other team-building activities. Towards the end of the evening, they were able to mingle with other chapters that were there.
Thank you to the Ohio FFA Association for supporting this event, and Versailles School for hosting. We are grateful to the state officers for dedicating their time and talents to invest in the next generation of agricultural leaders.
