FFA Awards Banquet

Last night we attended the Eldon FFA Awards Banquet. As I have said before, FFA is the largest student organization in Eldon High School, with over 250 members. We had dinner, then the awards ceremony began. FFA is such a neat organization because so many kids aren't just "members", but they actually get to participate and be recognized. Cole was honored as a member of the Meats Team, which received 1st Place in Districts.

Kelsi Mueller, Cole, Abbey Thomas and Katie Kirkweg

Cole was honored as one of the Top 30 most active members. He will get to go on the FFA "Participation Trip" to South Dakota on May 27th!

Cole and Jill Blankenship each received the Sophomore Leadership Award!!

Cole and Jill were also recognized as being selected for the 2009 Missouri AgriBusiness Academy. They will be in St. Louis the week of June 8-12, 2009.

Finally, Cole was installed as the Eldon FFA Chapter Treasurer for the 2009-2010 school year.

And, did I mention, he was the BEST LOOKING BOY THERE!!!! Once again, we are so very very proud of Cole for everything he has accomplished! We are very blessed parents!
