Eight Aubrey FFA students traveled to the 98th National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana, gaining leadership training and career exposure while there, the FFA sponsors said.
The annual convention is 'one of the largest annual student gatherings in the country,' which gives the students a chance to apply their lessons from the classroom to the real world in real time while 'networking for [and with] the future leaders of agriculture,' according to the Aubrey FFA release.
'This convention is an unparalleled opportunity for our students to connect their classroom learning to the future of agriculture,' said Chelsea Fewell, Advisor. 'The experience, from touring a logistics hub to hearing from industry leaders, truly sharpens their vision for purposeful leadership and validates the hard work they put in every day.'
