On Friday Morning, Ryelur Jensen, Alivia Waldron, Tatum Hess, and Whitnee Waldron received their Idaho FFA State Degrees. They received their plaque and state degree pin to be worn on their FFA Jacket. To earn this Degree students must have been an active FFA member for at least two years, have been enrolled in 2 years of Ag classes, productively invested $1000, or worked 300 hours outside of class time in their supervised agricultural experience (fair projects, farms, jobs, research projects, etc). They must participate in Five FFA activities above the chapter level and complete 25 hours of community service. They also take an FFA knowledge and Parliamentary
Procedure exam.

Malad FFA also was awarded the “Chapter Growth Award” for the second year in a row. This award is given to a chapter that has a 10%- 25% member increase.

Malad FFA also took 1st in the chapter Scrapbook contest. Our two historians, Jaezie Jensen and Tatum Hess put together a high-quality scrapbook full of events, awards, and FFA History from the 2023-2024 year. Mrs. Lexie Evans was also installed as the Southeastern Idaho District FFA Advisor for the 2024-2025 school year.

While in Twin Falls we visited the Shoshone Falls and Perrine Memorial Bridge. We toured the Jerom Cheese and Glambia Cheese. We learned the detailed process of producing high-quality cheese.

Overall, this trip was a great experience for our members. We have seen great success in all our teams and a tremendous amount of growth this year! We appreciate our Malad FFA Alumni and Supporters group for their financial contributions as well as the support of our administration and school board.

We encourage you to follow the Malad FFA Chapter on Social media to see more photos and updates in the classroom and FFA. If you would like more information about our Alumni and supporters please reach out to an advisor or administrator at Malad High School.
