A Mid-Prairie High School student has been elected the FFA Southeast District Northwest Vice President.

Junior Bridget Fisher earned the position after making her individual presentation at the FFA district convention in Mediapolis. Mid-Prairie FFA Advisor and Agricultural Education Instructor Elsa Schmidt reports Fisher was also approved for an Iowa FFA Degree along with fellow students Anna Nafziger and Carmen Sieren. Fisher and Sieren also teamed up to earn first place gold and advance to the state convention for the club secretary’s book.  Sieren and Rebekah Meader’s collaboration on the reporter’s scrapbook also earned a gold rating to become state alternates.

Schmidt says her students’ accomplishments come in the midst of a year made challenging by the pandemic and fewer FFA members, “We have about 60 in-school members and 15 out-of-school members, which is a little lower than the last few years. But we did graduate a couple of large classes in the last two years, but I think we can get those numbers back up.”

The FFA State Leadership Conference is April 18-20 in Ames
