The Wharton FFA Christmas Party truly was the essence of festive joy and community spirit. The event's highlights, such as the informative presentation on mentorship opportunities for SWAGS students by esteemed presenters Ms. Kilee Reyna, Mr. Richard Lockley, and Mr. Eric Muegge, offered students invaluable insights and avenues for personal growth. The warm ambiance was further enhanced by a delicious chili supper and an array of treats, thoughtfully prepared by the dedicated FFA officers. The evening was filled with laughter, courtesy of the lively white elephant gift exchange, which added an element of surprise and fun. It’s heartwarming to see how such gatherings foster camaraderie and create cherished memories. Big thanks to everyone who contributed to making the night truly special, celebrating the holiday season and the shared bonds within the community.
Wharton FFA attended the Cinco Ranch and Aggie Fest LDE contests. Where we had the Greenhand & Sr Quiz team, Job Interview, Sr. Creed, and Radio Broadcasting team competed. We are so proud of all of these students! The next stop is the district contest! See The Wharton FFA page to see more information.

The District FFA LDE Contest: A Day of Growth and Achievement
On a spirited day at Boling High School, the District FFA Leadership Development Event (LDE) Contest brought together some of the brightest young leaders in agriculture. Each year, this event serves as a powerful platform for FFA members to grow their skills, build confidence, and connect with a larger community. Wharton FFA was proud to be represented by several outstanding teams, each embodying the hard work and dedication that defines our chapter.
The LDE contests are about more than just competing—they’re about preparing young people to excel as future leaders. From perfecting public speaking to mastering the art of team collaboration, participants develop skills that extend far beyond the contest itself. For many, the experience at Boling High School was a stepping stone toward achieving their personal and professional dreams.
Our Wharton FFA teams showed incredible dedication and spirit. Representing us at this year's contest were teams who put in hours of practice, honing their skills and pushing themselves to perform at their best. It was inspiring to watch these students overcome nerves, support each other, and share their passion with the judges and audience. Each of them has taken away valuable lessons in leadership and resilience that will serve them well in all they do.
As we reflect on this amazing day, we are reminded of the power of FFA to shape the next generation of leaders in agriculture and beyond. To all those who supported our students—thank you for helping make these experiences possible. And to the participants: keep striving, keep leading, and keep inspiring.
The District FFA LDE Contest held at Boling High School.

History of National FFA Week
National F.F.A. Week was initiated by the National Future Farmers of America Organization — a youth leadership organization, and one of the largest in the U.S., to make a positive difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for leadership, personal growth, and career success through agriculture education.
First founded by a group of young farmers in 1928, the F.F.A. mission, during National F.F.A. Week, is to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding the growing population of the United States by teaching members various topics relating to agricultural technology, science, and business, i.e., Ag Business, Ag Mechanics, Ag Sales, Dairy cattle evaluation, and Agronomy, Food Science & Technology, and Dairy Food, etc.
Initially, the holiday was observed on a single day. In 1948, to recognize George Washington’s example and legacy as a leader and farmer, the National F.F.A. Board of Directors initiated a weeklong tradition.
Each year, all 700,000 F.F.A. members spend the weeklong holiday developing their potential for leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education in creative and innovative ways in their various local F.F.A. chapters. During the week, F.F.A. members will take part in agricultural, leadership, and service-based activities across the country.
The organization hosts Career Development Events or Courses contests in which student members compete to test the skills they learned through agricultural education instruction from the program.
