FFA scholarships
BATH Agriculture education teachers/FFA advisers make a world of difference for the students they teach.
This spring, students put into words, as part of an FFA Adviser Tribute Scholarship application, how their ag teachers/FFA advisers have impacted their lives. Sixteen outstanding examples of amazing teachers impacting their students have been chosen out of the applicants, and winning students will each receive scholarships to attend a SD FFA Leadership Retreat this summer.
Leonard DeBoer Memorial
- Jasmine Oliver, Canton and Ireland McAreavey, Tri-Valley
Walt Johnson Memorial
- Kate Williamson, Belle Fourche; Gabriel Stern, Brookings; Cash Martinnez, Bridgewater-Emery; Shay Marquardt, Bridgewater-Emery; Alexis Cermak, Sturgis; Bryxx Bawek, Doland; Lilija Coleman, Rapid City Stevens; Gracie Pedersen, Tri-Valley; Alinea McDonald; Viborg-Hurley; and Rose Wickham, Viborg-Hurley
The students wrote essays about how their FFA advisers have made an impact on their lives. Each of these students thinks their adviser is one of the best and is happy to say so! Here is an example of what Stern shared:
Gabriel Stern, Brookings senior, said, Mr. Joshua Johnson encourages me to make my own path, even if it means doing it alone. With his support, I achieved new levels of leadership. Whether it be my ability to build a team or to compete at a high level in athletics, Mr. Johnson has never faltered, and pushed me to be the best that I can be.
