Hunter Johnson placed 2nd in the prepared speaking division and advances to district, and Lindsay placed 3rd.

A special thanks to Mrs. Mills, Mr. Brewer and all of the teachers who provided our students with such a wonderful experience.
Becky Storer, Early Childhood Education director from Southern State Community College, visited seniors in our ECE program last week to discuss the college and it’s Early Childhood Education program. She shared information on the college, the admission process and financial aide. Her visit helped answer many question students had about college and was a great preparation for a visit planned to their campus for our ECE seniors this spring. We thank Mrs. Storer for taking time from her busy schedule to visit us.
OVCTC FFA is very fortunate to have such a hard working group of officers this year. They have created lots of fun activities for members, led by example, and have learned to keep meetings orderly and effective. Mr. White and Mr. Rhonemus would not be able to get things done as efficiently in the chapter if it wasn’t for these dedicated individuals. We would like to congratulate 3 of our officers for their state ratings! These young ladies put in countless hours and sacrificed their personal time to get their ratings! Kaitlyn Shreffler Gold Rated Treasurer book, Aly Simpson Silver Rated Secretary book, and Whitney Hill Gold Rated Reporter book. Whitney and Aly will be recognized at the Ohio State FFA convention this spring to receive their gold pins! Keep up the good work team and thanks for doing a great job!

The Ag Business class has been hard at work the last few weeks getting their records closed out for the year, developing budgets, filling out applications and working towards degrees! Mr. Rhonemus and Mr. White spent all day at Miami Valley evaluating books and scoring applications all day today. All of our students are heading to the next level of state evaluation and we hope they have continued success for approval! In the meantime, there is still hay to unload, animals that need fed, and equipment to tend to. Thank you to our school, administration, and school board for supporting us in these endeavors!
