September     

For the month of September the Rock Creek FFA chapter was very successful. In terms of district events, our horse judging team went to Highland and did fairly well considering there were only two people. Tyler Sutton placed 2^nd and Mark Jack finished with 240 points in the B team. Andy Newkirk took 27^th in the A team individual competition. In the Nursery/Landscape contest William Trieb placed 10^th in the individual B-team competition. Along with all of our competitions the Rock Creek chapter also took 13 students to State Fair where they taught younger kids about how you can make biodegradable plastic from corn starch which demonstrated the vast amount of opportunities that go along with agriculture. At another station people could learn the qualities needed to produce a champion beef, swine, and sheep. At the Greenhand Conference, 1^st years, Pake E., Josh Mann, Skyler O’Shea, Patrick O’Conner, William Trieb, George Dille, and Devin Kesl had a great time. Rock Creek FFA chapter also elected two new members to the officer team. They are Mark Jack as StuCo Rep and William Trieb as Student Advisor.
