The District 1 Leadership Development Event was held on February 11 after being cancelled the week before due to many school districts being closed for winter weather. FFA officers Sierra Zuniga and Julianna Thompson went to the district speaking contest. Sierra placed 6th and Julianna placed 3rd and received honorable mention. The middle school students created an FFA quiz bowl team to attend as well and they took 2nd place and will be attending the Sectional event. Quiz bowl team members included Gracie Wiltse, Levi Johnson, Sarah Sellent, Jesse Lueck, and Amelia King. The quiz bowl questions were all about FFA.
The top two placings from each contest moves on to Sectionals. Contests included Discussion, Creed Speaking, Middle School Quiz Bowl, Employments Skills, Parliamentary Procedure, Extemporaneous Speaking, and Prepared Speaking. The Section 1 Leadership Development Event will be in March at Prairie Farm.
