Members of the Mattoon FFA chapter attended the 96th annual Illinois State FFA Convention June 11-13 along with more than 5,000 other FFA members, advisors, and guests. With a 2024 theme of “United As One,” the three-day event annually recognizes achievements of Illinois FFA members, elects the major state officer team, and celebrates agriculture. 🚜
During the convention, the following awards were presented to the Mattoon FFA chapter.
Illinois State FFA Degree: Savannah Cole and Abigial Niemeyer were conferred with State FFA Degrees by the Illinois Association for meeting all requirements including productive financial investments and earnings in a supervised agricultural experience and FFA participation, leadership, and academic excellence. The State FFA Degree is the highest achievement an FFA member can achieve in Illinois; less than 2% of members statewide earn this prestigious recognition. 💙💛
Emma Spencer was also nominated to play in the FFA Band. 🎺
Students at the convention were greeted with activities including a career fair featuring colleges and agribusinesses and an opportunity to engage in the history of Illinois’ capital city. The sessions featured addresses by National FFA Western Region Vice President Emily Gossett of New Mexico and from each of the retiring major state officers. 💙💛
STEAM Summer Camp was held at Riddle Elementary School from June 3-7. Students from both Riddle and Williams engaged in the Engineering Design Process to develop and create game remixes. 🎮 These games were based on classic favorites but with a creative twist designed by the STEAM Camp members. ✨🌟
Using 3D printing, laser cutting, and graphic design skills, our talented campers brought their ideas to life. At the end of the week, students showcased and played their games with family and community members on Friday afternoon. 🖨️🖌️ 🎉
A big thank you to everyone who attended the showcase and to our generous sponsor, Land of Lincoln Credit Union, for making this camp free for all STEAM members. 💚💛
