FFA Week is Here!
Feb. 24, 2010
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
I am so excited to let everyone know that FFA Week is finally here! February 20-27th is our week to show our communities that FFA is the way to go! The National theme this week is Lead Out Loud. Take this week to go with the theme and show your town how important the FFA Organization is to the development to students that participate in it!
Last night, I traveled to the Badlands Snow Park to snow tube with the New Richmond, Barron, Clear Lake and Turtle Lake FFA chapters. The hills were super and so were the FFA members! Thanks for inviting me to come. I had so much fun!
Everone have a great FFA Week and make the most of it!

FFA Alumni Convention!
Feb. 11, 2010
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
This weekend I get to travel to the east side of Wisconsin to Manitowoc for the annual FFA Alumni Convention.
At this event, the state officer team gets the opportunity to interact with our close associates that have helped our FFA members so much in the past, present and future!
I am looking forward to talking to some of the local and state alumni affiliate members and making the bonds stronger for the members that will be coming in future years!

The Advisor
Jan. 28, 2010
Every time an FFA event comes up, who's asking you to go? Whenever any paperwork is due, who helps you? Whenever I hear that question, my answer is always my advisor Mrs. Jagielo.
Our FFA advisors are super important to both our chapter's success and also sometimes making us succeed as individuals.
Make sure to let them know sometimes how much they truly mean to you by a simple thank you or gesture! They would surely appreciate to know how much you like their help!

Happy 2010!
Jan. 04, 2010
Hello Wisconsin FFA and welcome to 2010!
As one decade has past, another one is right in front of us. The first event that the Wisconsin FFA is going to have to kick off the new year is the Half Time Conference in Stevens Point.
If you are attending this conference as a member, you are super lucky! Out of every chapter, only two members get to attend this all inclusive excursion to the Ramada.
The theme is "Oh The Places You Will Go" and when you walk out of the hotel doors on Saturday, you will realize both the places you have been in the past, but all the places that you can go in the future through the FFA!
Have a great week and I hope to see some of you on Friday at Half Time!

Happy Holidays!
Dec. 24, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
From Section 1 to Section 10, I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays!! From the presents underneath the tree to the delicious meals that we will all get to endeavor, this holiday season will be unforgettable.
Also, as 2009 closes, 2010 is going to be here. Start thinking of New Year's Resolutions that you can achieve in the next year!

Half Time Work Days in Sauk
Dec. 22, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
For the past four days, the state officer team was together working on the design of the 2010 Half Time Conference. With the theme of "Oh, the Places You Will Go", there were also numerous directions that the team could take the decorations, skit and reflections.
Even though there was a little work involved in the last four days, the team still had the opportunity to spend some quality time together. From the trip to Madison to the great and elegant dinner at BJ's house, this pre-Christmas celebration will be remembered long after our State Officer terms are up.
Special thanks to the Sauk Prairie FFA, Sauk Prairie FFA Alumni, Mr. Troy Talford, and Tom and Kathy Breunig for making this experience possible and enjoyable!
Have a great holiday season and a happy new year! Get ready for 2010!
The Lil' Chow
Dec. 15, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
I don't know if you have heard, but I love animals, especially my black lab Misty.
Dogs are enjoyable animals and are "man's best friend". They are always there for you (even though they might chew up something) and they never tell a secret when you whisper one in their ear.
If you have a pet, spend some time with him/her. They really love spending time with you!

And The Theme Is...
Dec. 13, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
This week sure has been chilly but there are two great things that have happened this weekend.
1). The Packers beat the Chicago Bears. Now we are one step closer to the playoffs!
2). The Half Time Theme was selected!
At the December meeting for the State Officers, our team combined their thoughts through and through and came up with the perfect theme for two selected members from each chapter all across the state to attend.
The theme is "Oh The Places You Will Go", based on the books written by Dr. Seuss. From the Cat in the Hat to The Lorax, the rooms will be decorated, the food will be excellent, but most of all, the information that you will behold after this experience will inspire you to achieve your set goals throughout the last six months of this FFA year. Have a great week!

December Work Days
Dec. 07, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
The halfway point of our year is almost here! Currently, the State FFA Officer team is in Marshfield, Wisconsin working on the second half of our year. Some of the content that we are covering in the next few days is Half Time Conference, Farm Forum, banquet season, and even state convention!
Hope that everyone is having a great week so far!

Deer Hunting is Finally Here!
Nov. 23, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
Deer hunting season is finally here and I am so excited! I am an avid hunter but deer hunting gun season is always my favorite. On opening day, my dad got a whopping 6 point buck; but I am still awaiting for my buck to pop out of the woods.
If you get a big buck, send me an email with a picture of your deer and I will put it into my next newsletter for the whole section to see!
Have a great week!

National Convention 2009!!!
Oct. 29, 2009
Hello Wisconsin FFA!
Last week was a busy week for both myself and the Wisconsin State Officer Team as we traveled down to Indianapolis to experience the 2009 National FFA Convention!
On the bus ride down and back, we got to ride with the Spencer and Stratford FFA Chapters (which was a blast!). On the way down, Mr. Zimmerman, the Spencer FFA advisor, set up two tours for us.
I had been to National Convention two times before this time, but I know that the 2009 Convention was a whole new spectrum to me in the world of conventions because I got to be a national delegate. The thrill of that position is awesome because the National FFA Organization actually lets the members decide what occurances are going to happen to the FFA in the next few years.
Another awesome aspect about the Wisconsin FFA is that we have 4 extra delegate seats after the state officers are selected. After the National Delegate interviews at State Convention, the judges picked Paige Emmerich, Kori Trescher, Hannah Eucker, and Sabrina Leahy to join us for the week. I found out a lot of interesting things from these four young ladies and I am glad that I got to spend an entire week with them.
I know that our team had a blast at National Convention and I hope that everyone that traveled down there also had the time of their lives!
