National FFA Week is underway, shining a spotlight on the lasting value of agricultural education and celebrating the tradition of leadership and service within FFA chapters.
Through the FFA activities scheduled this week, Caldwell County’s FFA members are not only honoring the legacy of the past but also inspiring a new generation to carry forward the values of leadership, service, and agricultural excellence.
FFA Advisor and Agriculture Teacher Magen Woods shares that she has a special display in her classroom adorned with FFA jackets belonging to her grandfather, father, and herself—which she uses as a teaching tool.
