Attending elemer jilnf on the job experience rnlininezzef to bein ftniientr ezclaiene a inning Combination The Future Farmers of Amer- ica tFFAl is a national organ- ization. The vocational FFA pro- gram helps students locate jobs in an agri-business related field. Vocational Agriculture also helps students learn the many different aspects of agricultural and the many different aspects of agri-business. Students were employed as veterinarian assistances, land- scaping, floral and ranch work. Some of the students worked in local feed and grocery stores. Vocational classes allowed students to get hands on ex- perience while they attended school and received credit for graduation. Students then went to work for the second half of the day. They received a grade by turning in their record book which showed what each person did that week at work, how many hours they worked, and how much money they made that week. The program allows stu- dents an opportunity to hold down a job and stay in school at the same time. Students receive credit for their work at school and are evaluated on their work performance as part of their grade. lt allows many students to leave high school and go straight into a good job related to some form of agricultural, Mr. James Buchanan, sponsor, said. They also received another grade from an evaluation from their employer. FFA, much like other organizations, elected of- ficers and held meetings with the help of Mr. James Buchanan, sponsor. The officers included: Darrin Graham, president, Todd Hess, vice-president, Lisa Gentry, sec- retaryg Melissa Champerlain, treasurer, Steve Gleghorn, re- porter, Sarah Harston, sentinel and Grant Putman, parliamen- tarian.
