Minarets+FFA+History

= Ever Wonder What Our First Year Of FFA Was Like? =

Minarets FFA was founded in August of 2008. Every student attending Minarets High School was involved in the FFA, and we had ten officers. It was a very successful year, and a fun experience for most everyone. We were involved in many different activities and took home many awards. Our theme for the year was "Minarets FFA, A Mountain of Magic", and that year truly was magical. It was the first year our school had been open, and even early in the year, every school knew who we were when we went to an event. We may have been small, but we were mighty.

We attended and participated in things ranging from sitting in a room having a meeting to tasting milk, judging animals, and taking tests about the FFA, to showing and selling animals at the Chowchilla Fair. We had tons of fun going from activity to contest to meeting to wherever else we were going. It was fun to be able to participate in the activities, but it made the trips worth it even more when we came home with awards and prizes. Although, it wasn't just the games and contests that made the trips fun, many of us made new friends that we would be looking forward to seeing again soon.

We ended the year as a huge success and took with us many memories. It was Minarets' first year being involved in FFA, and we plan to achieve higher goals and accomplish more this year.
