FFA Dairy Foods team headed to state

Written by arah Kiehl, Chapter Reporter

 Jan. 18, the Frazee FFA Dairy Foods, Horse Judging and Wildlife teams competed.

 On the Dairy Foods team are Cole Marschall, Sarah Wendt, Bayleigh Antonsen and Ashley Anderson. Bayleigh Antonsen placed 1st as an individual and Cole Marschall placed 8th. As a team, Dairy Foods missed first place by only a few points, thus placing second. Nevertheless, they will be advancing to state. Wonderful job, Dairy Foods team!

 Melody Hoefs participated in horse judging and placed 19th as an individual. Well done, Melody.

 The wildlife team, consisting of Trevor Schwarzrock, Riley Utke, Austin Tegtmeier and Levi Post fell short of going to state by placing 6th. Trevor Schwarzrock placed 7th as an individual, Austin Tegtmeier 17th, Riley Utke 23rd and Levi Post 54th.

 Great job, everyone.

Years ago one teacher stood at the head of the class and taught all the students.

 Times have changed and many classrooms have aides, also known as paraprofessionals.
