 Middletown FFA Judging ~ Career Development Events

     Judging team members practice actively October through early May, often on top of other athletic practices and work.  Often at odd times, trying to accommodate industry leaders that aid them.  Team members give almost every weekend for over two months to compete.  Last year alone, driving over 5,000 miles, raising over $6,000, paying for travel, entries and supplies.  Middletown FFA Judging teams try to encourage as many students as possible to participate, knowing that most of the time, only four team members per team will be able to compete at some contests.  Team members work hard, but may not travel with the team to represent Middletown FFA’s, as they may not yet be ready to compete at that level.  If a member is not able to compete, the knowledge they gain is immeasurable.

     Judging teams are a valid part of the FFA.  To be more direct – Middletown FFA.  Contests have honed student skills in prospective contest, teaching them team skills and providing with leadership opportunities as well.  Middletown’s students visited over seven colleges last year, providing them with the knowledge of what could be possible for them.  Because of the knowledge these students have gained, they have gained confidence to apply for jobs and get the jobsite learning that we are striving for them to learn.
