Southland Ag Turns Out In Numbers!

Southland Agby Nick McCollister

I just wanted to share a picture with everyone from yesterday. This was right after school. I have not seen such a great turn out all at once unless it is a stock show. This is a great thing to see and these students should be congratulated for committing to a project that takes time and work. I was very excited to see that many students and parents there at the barn. It is going to be a great year. We have some great exhibitors and great animal.

I left a couple items out yesterday. We had 9 students participate in a Leadership Summit held at WTAMU in Canyon Saturday, Sept 21, 2013. This was a cool event. Our students were able to participate in activities alongside college students and college professors. They were able to see college classes and how they work. Furthermore, they also got to listen to Keynote – Dr. Price Pritchett who is an expert on mergers and business for the top 1000 largest companies.

Also, we are starting Leadership Development Contest. We have students that have expressed interest in Parliamentary Procedure, Quiz, and Radio. These are all great contests and will provide the students with valuable speaking skills for the future.
