Since the conclusion of the school year, the Elmwood FFA has continued to remain busy.
On May 20 the chapter participated in the annual Southern Wood County Relay For Life event held at
Bowling Green High School. The chapter itself had nearly 50 team members that were able to raise more
than $7,500 to benefit the American Cancer Society. This accomplishment earned the chapter a platinum
rating. Chapter member Casey Heller was named the winner of the Miss Relay Pageant during the evening.

Rounding out the month of May, the chapter completed yet another community service project by cooperating
with the Central Joint Volunteer Fire Department. This activity involved conducting a motorcycle poker
run to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society and took place on May 28. The chapter’s part was
to provide food to the riders at the start and conclusion of the event. more than two dozen FFA members
gave up part of their Memorial Day weekend to lend a hand for the activity.
In early June the chapter conducted visits to students supervised agricultural experience projects and
late June found the chapter initiating a pumpkin project which will be used for a fall festival for
elementary students.
Another community service project initiated was the erection of a fence for the Montgomery Township
house.
On June 27, three members traveled to Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum for five days of recreation and outdoor
education.
Those attending Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum included Richard McBrien, Jessica McKenzie, and Marisa Ayala.
While in attendance, members had the opportunity to enjoy motor boating, swimming, archery, rifle and
shotgun shooting, leadership development, and social events.
Chapter members in attendance were sponsored through FFA Alumni scholarships.
