Courtney Jeffries and Meredith Houston of the McKinney FFA recently placed fourth in the District 5 FFA Talent competition. They competed among 250 FFA members from 35 school districts across Denton and Collin Counties at the organization's District 5 FFA Banquet.
Singing Kellie PicklerJeffries and Houston performed the songs "Red High Heels" by Kellie Pickler and "Stay" by Sugarland. They competed against a variety of talents such as drumming, clogging and unicycle.
According to the McKinney FFA Web site (www.mckinneyffa.org) the organization is "dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education."
Smiling Kellie PicklerThe Texas FFA Web site said the 80-year-old organization is student-led and aims to change lives and prepare agricultural students for personal growth and career success. According to Texas FFA, the letters "FFA" stand for Future Farmers of America but the organization doesn't use the full name because it considers agriculture to be much broader than farming and ranching.
The District 5 FFA Banquet, as well as hosting the talent competition, celebrated awards given to FFA members over the past few months. McKinney students were presented with the following awards and recognitions:
