Pitman FFA: Year in review

The 2022-2023 school year held great success and accomplishments for the Pitman FFAChapter. There were numerous events and activities giving the members opportunities to gain leadership, teamwork, communication, time management, and commitment skills!

Each month the chapter had meetings with entertainment, fun activities, music, and a snack for bonding upon all members of our chapter! This year, the Pitman FFA chapter focused on creat- ing new traditions. The newest addition to the chapter being the Fall Festival. We had ourfirst Fall Festival in November with craft and food vendors, games, and prizes all free and open to the community!

Along with the monthly meetings, the chapter was committed to have a community service act each month that got all members involved. This year our two largest community service events were the school supply drive and the valen- tines cards for the nearby retirement/ senior living facility. Our members came together and donated close to 500 school supplies to be donated to Jessica’s House, a community rehabilitation and support center for all age groups! Around 200 valentine cards were hand delivered to the senior living residence by hand by the chapter officer team!

Our annual Tri-Tip Dinner Fundraiser in October had over 900 tickets sold with all proceeds going to supporting our chapter throughout the year! We had our members working hard the week leading up to dinner night doing all tasks from preparing meal bags to handing out and working the ticket stand during the event.

As a part of the FFA organization's mission, our chapter competed in a large variety of speaking and skill/knowledge based competitions. All in efforts to grow the member’s abilities. This year we had many members compete in speaking competitions making it to the regional level! As well as the C.D.E (career development event) competition.

In July, we will be exhibiting our animals at the Stanislaus County Fair. We have 50 exhibitors this year with animals at the fair and we can’t wait to see how they do in the show ring. Our students would love the community’s support and hope to see you all there! The dates are July 7th-16th with various shows for all species happening throughout the week during the day.
