On September 26^th, five FFA members attended the 2011 Section 4 Leadership workshop in Mineral Point.  The theme for this year’s workshop was “Uncover the Treasure.”  When they arrived, they ate delicious snacks consisting of sausage, cheese, crackers and milk.  Then the true fun took place.   After a warm welcome and a creative skit performed by the Wisconsin FFA State Officer Team, all 199 advisors, members, and guests present at the workshop broke into different “pirate-themed” groups to come up with new club ideas, have fun, and meet new people from within the state.  In addition to learning new fundraising ideas and better ways to conduct meetings, the group of chapter presidents learned a dance and new power claps.  Senior Sarah Achenbach said that her favorite part of the workshop was “losing Mr. Pedretti and leaving 45 minutes later than we should have.”  After the workshop, the FFA members traveled to Dodgeville to eat a delicious meal at Pizza Hut.  Great fun was had by all.  For more information about FFA, contact Mr. Pedretti at the high school.
