  Strom Thurmond Career Center FFA Receives Emblem in Environmental/Natural Resources Award web posted October 30, 2008 JOHNSTON – The Strom Thurmond Career Center FFA Envirothon Team won a silver emblem of award at the 81st National FFA Convention held October 20-24 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The National FFA Organization awarded the medal to the local Strom Thurmond Career Center Team representing the State FFA Association Environmental/Natural Resources Team. As sponsors, Smithfield Foods and USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service provided funds for plaques, medals and scholarships for winning teams and high scoring individuals. Members of the team include: Sam Adkinson, Zach Rearden, Sam Northrop and Dustin Lalonde. Zach Rearden’s impressive score of 547.50 won him a gold medal as the 12th top individual scorer in the nation and a $500.00 scholarship. Team members Adkinson, Northrop and Lalonde were all silver medal award winners. The team was accompanied by their advisor, Mr. Hugh Bland and his wife Lisa. Dr. Mary R. Crenshaw, Superintendent of Edgefield County Schools joined the students as a special guest of the local Strom Thurmond Career Center FFA Chapter on Thursday for the awards presentation “I was deeply honored to be asked by our local FFA Chapter to be their guest at this convention and to attend the awards ceremony with our local students. The students made me extremely proud of our FFA chapter and our students were outstanding representatives for their local chapter as well as the state of South Carolina,” said Dr. Mary Crenshaw. The National FFA Environmental/Natural Resources CDE tests students’ abilities in actual environmental analysis, soil testing, water analysis as well as addressing global issues. Each of the 40 teams competed against teams from across the nation. Members work cooperatively to address an environmental/natural resource scenario, including the identification of possible solutions to a given problem. A written exam is also completed. The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 507,763 student members – all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture – as part of 7,439 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. ©
