If you’re one of those skeptics who doesn’t believe it when your parents, teacher or coach tells you ‘practice makes perfect’, ask an FFA kid if it’s true. You can find FFA kids in Mrs. Page’s classroom practicing to be perfect for Nationals in October. That’s right, the RTHS FFA Food Science and Technology CDE team WON the 2017 state title and the right to compete for a national title in the fall!
What is Food Science & Technology? It is a competitive event designed to promote learning activities in food science and technology related to the food industry and to assist students in developing practical knowledge of principles used in a team decision-making process.”
Besides finishing first among 20 teams, all four of our members were singled out from the field of 81:
· Donnie Harmon first place individual
· Claire Plapp fifth place individual
· Eliza Petry seventh place individual
· Andrew Myers tenth place individual
Plapp, Petry and Harmon will be seniors next year. Myers will fly back from college in Utah for the National Competition in Indianapolis during the National FFA Convention in October.
