Our quickly growing agriculture department was honored at tonight's FFA Banquet, led by Mr. Thornton and Strawn's chapter officers - President Rowdy Sparks, Vice President Ana Hernandez, Sentinel Justin Patton, Treasurer Jessica Marroquin, Reporter Hayden Nowak, and Secretary Marcy Rivera. It was a very successful year for Strawn's FFA members, and they deserved every bit of tonight's recognition. Many of our FFA members received awards tonight for their projects and service throughout the year. In addition, Rowdy Sparks was named Top Hand, and Hayden Nowak received Star Greenhand. Mr. Thornton also honored our three judging teams (Livestock, Radio Broadcasting, & Entomology), and our welders who received their Stage I Welding Certification this year! He also mentioned the success of Strawn's growing 4-H program, led by Ms. Harris. Thank you to Eric Nowak for offering the prayer, to Mr. Thornton & family for the meal, and to all the staff & community members who attended and served. 85 people were in attendance to support these amazing young individuals, and we are truly grateful. The Strawn FFA also thanked the Strawn Lions Club and Susan Hurley of the First National Bank of Strawn for their continued support of Strawn ISD's agricultural programs. We were blessed to have several of our former FFA members in the crowd and our Ag Extension Agent Mr. Jason Westbrook. Thank you for the support you so freely give our students.

Our students have worked incredibly hard this year, and we were honored to recognize them this afternoon. Several of the students awarded with Highest Average or Outstanding Student were quarantined at one point due to COVID-19 and still managed to do their classwork well. We also recognized our Most Improved students, those who overcame adversity and grew more confident in their subject. It's important also to note that many of our awards today went to ties or students with averages less than .1 apart. The students at Strawn ISD are all extraordinary, and we are proud to honor their academic achievements! Please visit our Facebook page for many more photos.
