On Saturday, members of the Afton FFA Officer Team attended the Chenango County Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, held at Austin Farm Enterprises, LLC, in Bainbridge.
Students enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Austin Farm Enterprises, LLC, and spent the afternoon surrounded by local farmers, agricultural leaders and community members who share a passion for agriculture.
The officer team was able to see the Chenango County Farm Bureau in action, learn more about the organization and make connections with people who help keep agriculture strong in Chenango County.
Our Agriculture Education teacher and FFA Advisor, Cat Reeder, also serves on the Chenango County Farm Bureau Board of Directors as Secretary and Pro-Education Chair. Having our students involved in events like this is a great way to connect what we learn in the classroom to the agricultural community around us.
Thank you to the Chenango County Farm Bureau and Austin Farm Enterprises, LLC, for a wonderful afternoon and for continuing to support the next generation of agricultural leaders!
Afton Agriculture/FFA students also helped with the event by making the table centerpieces using fresh-cut flowers from our school garden. It was a nice way to share a little piece of our Agriculture Education program with everyone attending!
Interested in getting more involved with Afton FFA? We are always looking for ways to connect our students with our community! Reach out to creeder@aftoncsd.org to learn more about opportunities to support our chapter.

Our BRAVE Youth Leadership System continued today with Josiah "Jo" McKeon from Sweethearts and Heroes, as our 16 student leaders from 9th and 10th grade teamed up with their 2nd grade buddies for another exciting session focused on bullying prevention, leadership and building connections!
This week, the superhero capes made their return! Students from Ms. Hardler's and Ms. Doing's 2nd grade classrooms took on the roles of superheroes, while their high school buddies served as their trusty sidekicks. Working in small groups, students practiced and performed bullying prevention drills in front of their classmates, learning important lessons while having plenty of fun cheering each other on!
But BRAVE is about so much more than practicing a skill. By bringing students together across grade levels, we are building meaningful relationships, developing student leaders and creating a stronger sense of belonging throughout our school community.
We are incredibly proud of the leadership, enthusiasm and care our students continue to demonstrate as we work toward our District's vision of a pre-K through 12th grade community of collaboration for students and staff.
Two more weeks to go! Following a break next week, our six-week BRAVE session will wrap up with its final two meetings on Oct. 28 and Nov. 4.
Keep up the great work, Crimson Knights! 🛡️
