A group of 26 FFA members recently traveled to the 64th Ohio Farm Science Review in London, Ohio, hosted by The Ohio State University.
Our students got hands-on with agSTEM activities, learned about careers in agriculture, took part in sessions and demonstrations, visited over 600 exhibitors and displays, and saw some state-of-the-art agricultural equipment up close.
We are so proud of our students for making the most of this experience!
