District Greenhand Conference

            As always, Greenhands compete in their first CDE: The District Greenhand Conference.  The CDE entails Greenhands to take an information test.  They then go to different workshops hosted by officers.  Congratulations to Olivia Y, Seth P, Bridget K, Danika H, and Jackson G for placing in the top 20!    
          
September/October Fun Night

            Every month we will be hosting a monthly fun night.  This month 14 members enjoyed playing Just Dance, Apples to Apples, or Dominos at Holton FFA’s Game Night.

October the 15th was celebrated with movies and snacks.  Members had the choice of watching The Visit if they were feeling brave, or kicking back in Mr. Bartel’s room and watching Hotel Transylvania.  Regardless of the movie watched, everyone had a great time!
