The hard-working boys and girls in the Rye High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) program are a constant source of amazement. They place high in every contest they enter with creative ideas, and work hard to produce results.
RHS FFA members displayed some of these results at the State FFA Career Development Events in Denver.
On the first day, the Vet Science Team and Floriculture teams completed their contests and Ag sales did the first half of theirs.
The next day, all other teams competed and awards were given in the evening.
Many different bronze, silver, and gold awards were won by individuals. Three of the teams, Ag Sales, Meat Science, and Vet Science made it to the final stage and won gold team placings.
FFA students thanked thecoaches who have volunteered countless hours to develop these teams to their highest potential, Tom Laca, Jay Nielson, and Kathy Wolyn.
