Chadwick wins bronze

Colton FFA member Savannah Chadwick won a bronze emblem in the FFA Extemporaneous Public Speaking Career Development Event at the 88th national FFA Convention & Expo in Louisville, Ky. She was one of 46 participants. The top four individuals received cash awards provided by the event's sponsor, the American Farm Bureau Federation.

The event is designed to recognize FFA members for their ability to prepare and present a factual speech on a specific agricultural issue in a well thought out and logical manner. Members select one topic from a choice of categories, get 30 minutes to prepare a four to six minute speech and respond to five minutes of questions following delivery. Nathan Moore is chapter advisor.
