We had an incredible evening celebrating our amazing FFA members on May 22nd at the annual FFA banquet! With 19 members and over 75 community members in attendance, the room was filled with pride and well-deserved recognition.
Our students truly shined and earned every award presented. A huge thank you to Mrs. Banyard’s Food & Nutrition Class for preparing and serving a delicious dinner!
We also want to give a special shoutout to Hudson Valley Fresh for providing fresh milk for the evening and to Mrs. Annie Hanson for baking three incredible cakes for our guests to enjoy—your contributions made the night even sweeter!
An extra special thank you to Assemblymember Didi Barrett , who honored each student award recipient with a special citation from her office—what an unforgettable moment for our FFA members!
