Red Bud FFA chapter members, Mary Wagner, Kayden Heinemann and Austin Grohmann attended the annual 212° conference in Decatur IL, on October 6-7, 2017. This conference is an activity of the National FFA Organization made possible by title sponsors as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.  This two-day event is focused on student development and helps FFA members become aware of all aspects of personal growth. Students attended sessions on mental, emotional, physical, and social growth, and leave this experience with a personal plan for self-improvement.. This event also includes a dance along with many other fun, engaging group activities.

212° – the temperature at which water boils – focuses on taking students to the boiling point of personal leadership. At 211°, water is extremely hot, but just one more degree gets us to the next level.

FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
