There has been much excitement for Hinckley - Big Rock Middle School and High School FFA! Friday September 27th, both middle school students and high school students teamed up to represent HBR FFA in the Homecoming Parade! Chickabitty Designs created a wonderful display of Tractors Throughout the Decades, putting an agricultural twist on this year’s theme. Wednesday October 2nd, 4 freshmen and 1 sophomore traveled with Ms. Zoey Dye to Champaign, IL. During this trip, they visited Curtis Orchard & Pumpkin Patch where they examined the different varieties of apples and pumpkins grown in Central Illinois. They then toured Prairie Fruits & Creamery, which specializes in breeding and raising dairy goats, as well as producing fresh goat milk cheeses on location! For their final stop, they attended the FFA Greenhand Conference at the University of Illinois. This event is for first year members in FFA, challenging them in self-reflection, leadership, and meeting new friends. Friday October 4th, HBR FFA hosted the Section 6 Land Use Career Development Event at Grunwald Farms Forest Preserve. All competing students enjoyed donuts provided by Kane County Farm Bureau, which has continued to show great support for Kane County FFA Chapters! This CDE tests student knowledge in identifying and evaluating various types of soils along with their uses. 7 Middle School students and 6 High School students competed in this event. The High School team placed 10th and the Middle School team placed 8th! Use the link below to check out our HBR FFA Website! https://sites.google.com/hbr429.org/hinckleybigrockffa
