Beloit FFA
Murder Mystery Night Premier Chapter: Growing Leaders Finalist
The chapter wanted to provide the whole school with a leadership opportunity by hosting a breakout room activity based on the board game, Clue. This event was opened to the entire school, giving the student body a chance to grow leadership skills. The FFA members on the committee created breakout rooms with leadership challenges. This event served the members and the student body by giving students a break from school, and a chance to participate in an activity that developed their overall leadership skills. This event let the forty students grow their ability to work together, and work with people they don’t normally see. The eight leadership challenges provided competition and promoted integrity and leadership.
“Where’s The Energy” was designed to raise awareness in the chapter about the effects of energy drinks. Members designated one week a month when energy drinks weren’t allowed in class, and healthier options, such as fruit water, were available. Additionally, members learned effects from a dentist and physician and learned how to make protein balls. Energy drinks can affect heart rhythms, anxiety levels, tooth decay, and more. Members made advancements by trying new, more health-conscious drink decisions, like tea. Additionally, members learned how to make monster cookie protein balls, an easy recipe for anyone to make. This activity provided 1,275 healthy drink options throughout the year. Collectively, 76.5% of members passed health quizes, showing the knowledge gained.
Udall FFA
Bully No More
Premier Chapter: Growing Leaders Finalist Bully No More focused on teaching elementary school students the effects of bullying. Members worked with the Udall elementary school and school counselor to create an engaging presentation for the 3rd and 4th graders. The activity was designed to enhance the lives of students of Udall Elementary through education sessions. Throughout the lesson, students gained knowledge of the four types of bullying; physical, verbal, social, and cyber. Committee members then showed the social, emotional, and physical side effects of bullying. Lastly came the knowledge of how to stop bullying. This information was reinforced in the positive imprints activity, where students write what they can do, to “Bully No More”
