April is Month of the Military Child! We’re proud to celebrate the students in our schools who come from military families.

Their experiences shape them into remarkable young people, and we are honored to support them on their educational journey. 💜

Emmetsburg FFA members recently took part in the State FFA Leadership Conference in Ames, gaining valuable experience through workshops, competitions, and leadership sessions! 🌱

Congratulations to Paytn Haack and Matt Rubel on earning silver ratings on the Greenhand Quiz, and to Colten Frederick and Olivia Cadwell for serving as voting delegates. Bethany Wollschlager also represented the chapter through workshop participation.

The group is now looking ahead to the FFA Banquet on May 8!

Another year of athletic enhancement is in the books for our 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students.

These kids showed real commitment throughout the 5-week program—getting up early and putting in the work at 6:30 AM on Wednesday and Friday mornings to improve their skills.

All students with over 90% attendance earned a T-shirt—an awesome accomplishment!

A big thank you to all of our coaches for their time and effort in making this program a success.

We also want to thank Dr. Ryan Reedy and the Emmetsburg Eye Clinic for sponsoring this year’s T-shirts.
