It was great pleasure to meet up with Jamie Eichorn from Syngenta at the National FFA Convention. Jamie is an Ithaca High School & Ithaca FFA Alum. Jamie chatted with the Ithaca FFA members about the projects in the agriscience program and the land lab. Jamie also nominated Ithaca FFA to be one of the Syngenta Blue Jacket Recipients. Our chapter received a donation towards the agriscience program and two FFA jackets which will be going towards Ithaca FFA members. Thank you Jamie and Syngenta for supporting our chapter.

Congratulations to the National Honors Society class of 2024-2025.
Ithaca agriscience classes were chosen to host future agricultural education teachers from Michigan State University. 3 MSU seniors and their advisor spent the day in Ithaca teaching animal science, crop science & livestock judging to junior high students and high school students. It was a great experience for Ithaca students to learn from these soon-to-be teachers. Good luck to these MSU students who will be student teaching in various schools in Michigan starting in January. We enjoyed you being a Yellowjacket for the day.
Best of luck to Ithaca High School Senior Lakyn Zimmerman as she competes at the golf state finals in East Lansing Friday and Saturday.
