This year, I founded the Book it to the Pasture program. In this service project, I received multiple educational grants to purchase agriculturally accurate books that were placed in a book case at the Stillwater Milling Company. Here, kids can check out books, read them, and return them back to the bookcase. I wanted to engage the younger generations in FFA and this reading program is the perfect way to approach them.

The Stillwater FFA Chapter took the initiative to help those that suffer during the holiday season. Our chapter purchased a large flock of turkeys that we took turns feeding, maintaining, and managing during the school year and during the Summer time. During the beginning of the holiday season, we butchered the turkeys and sent them to be processed. While we waited for the plethora of birds to be processed, we arranged and held a canned food drive. In time for Thanksgiving, we were able to deliver full Thanksgiving meals to those who are less fortunate in our community.
