The Webster County FFA Chapter has started the 2026–2027 school year strong! The chapter’s eight officers kicked off the year with a leadership training retreat where they worked together to plan an exciting year of FFA activities and events. As part of their training, the officers traveled to Sumter EMC for CliftonStrengths training. We greatly appreciate Sumter EMC for hosting our officers and investing in the leadership development of our students! Throughout August, the officers stayed busy representing Webster County FFA. They attended ninth-grade orientation to introduce new students to the agriculture program and the opportunities available through FFA. The chapter also had a booth at Open House, where officers connected with students from Pre-K through 12th grade, families, and community members. Officers also attended the South Region FFA Rally in Moultrie, Georgia, connecting with FFA members from across the region and preparing for the year ahead. The chapter held its first after-school FFA meeting on September 15, with 17 members in attendance! Members learned about the many opportunities available through FFA before enjoying board games and time to get to know one another. With a strong start to the school year, Webster County FFA is looking forward to a great year of leadership, service, and opportunities for our members.
