South Central FFA officers recently traveled to Kelley’s Island for a leadership retreat focused on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
Through an island-wide scavenger hunt and hands-on learning experiences, officers strengthened their leadership skills while exploring the island’s history, geology, and Lake Erie ecology.
The team returned better prepared to lead chapter activities, service projects, and events throughout the upcoming school year.
