A CDE is a Career Development Event through FFA that students have the option to compete in at the State Level. FFA member Matthew Albrecht has spent the last few weeks preparing for his CDE in Agriculture Education. Matt was required to design a lesson on the topic of Plant Science. Matt choose to specifically do Seed Dispersal as his topic. This competition is giving Matt many new skills that he never knew he needed or possessed. Matt will be competing on Friday May 3rd!
All FFA competitors and members are always given support, tools, and the guidance to succeed. What makes them successful is their personal drive to be their best and soak up every opportunity to learn.
