Day 2 of the OK State FFA 100th Convention did not disappoint. We began the day with opening session and a keynote from Amy Downs, one of the last survivors recovered from the Oklahoma City bombing site. We received a certificate for our participation in the Hunger Challenge which benefits Oklahoma food banks and Backpacks for Hungry Kids programs. We walked through the trade show full of shopping, college and business booths, and even a magician. The day ended with The Great Divide in concert which was a blast.
You can watch the convention sessions live at https://convention.okffa.org. Be sure to tune in tonight for the Final session at 6:30 pm to watch our very own Caileigh Lindsey receive her State FFA Degree! 🏅💙💛
Day 1 of the OK State FFA Convention trip started off with lunch then a tour at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa. We learned about the largest inland port on the 25,000 mile US water navigation system. The day ended with dinner and ice cream. This energetic group is ready to hit the ground running first thing in the morning to represent Milburn FFA!

There’s nothing quite like hands-on learning.
Our kindergarten students recently had the opportunity to observe and participate in the egg hatching process, bringing science to life right before their eyes. From learning about incubation to watching the chicks hatch, this experience gave students a deeper understanding of life cycles, responsibility, and the wonders of nature.
Moments like these create excitement for learning that goes far beyond the classroom. We love seeing our students engaged, curious, and making real-world connections every day.

Thanks Lindsey Scribner for the ice-cream.
