The Paulding FFA Chapter recently held its 95th Annual FFA Banquet on April 9th, 2022. The theme for this year’s event was, “Small Town FFA”. This event was held to recognize the Paulding FFA members, community members, and advisors for their great accomplishments throughout the past year.
The banquet started with awarding members their Greenhand and Chapter degrees along with recognizing our 3rd and 4th-year members. Then students were recognized for Career Development Event awards and accomplishments this year. Our chapter also received various community members through the presentation of Blue and Gold awards as well as Honorary membership into the chapter. President Paige Jones gave her retiring address with a main message about growing up with no agriculture background but finding her love with agriculture and FFA beginning her freshman year. The banquet ended with the announcement of the Paulding FFA 2022-2023 Officers which are as follows: President Mason Schlatter, Vice President Carter Manz, Secretary Jamy Hunt, Treasurer Jalyn Klopfenstein, Reporter Caydence Rue, Sentinel Kobe Foor, Student Advisor Brooke Kilgore, and Parliamentarian Tyler Schlatter. The Paulding FFA would like to thank Robin Dobbelaere with Above and Beyond Catering, Hailey’s Heavenly Sweets, and the Paulding High School Freshman and Sophomore Classes for serving the meal. It was a wonderful night and we look forward to what next year will bring.
