☀️ June has been a busy month for Freeman FFA, and we wouldn't have it any other way! 💙💛
Our members have been making the most of summer by learning, leading, serving, and growing! 🌱
⭐ Our chapter was represented at FFA Leadership Camp, where new skills and ideas were gained to bring back to our chapter.
🏔️ Our officer team headed to the Black Hills for our annual retreat to strengthen teamwork, build leadership skills, and plan an exciting Program of Activities for the upcoming year.
🍩🥤 We set up the Sugar Barn at the Fishing Derby at the Arboretum, serving drinks, sweet treats, snacks, and plenty of smiles to our community.
🥕🌻 We also spent time working in the Community Garden, helping care for the space and giving back through service.
Summer may be here, but Freeman FFA never stops growing! Here's to another great month of learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve. 💙💛

Congratulations to Claire Loofbourrow on being named as the catcher to the Argus Leader Starting 9: South Dakota's best softball players! The team is comprised of athletes from all three classes. They are broken down positionally, with one pitcher, one catcher, four infielders, and three outfielders. Loofbourrow, a junior catcher for the Freeman/Marion/Freeman Academy Phoenix, led the team to the consolation championship at the state tournament in the final year of the cooperative. Great work, Claire!
