💙💛 Northwestern Tigers at the National FFA Convention! 🐅🌾

Our Northwestern FFA members had an incredible experience this week at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis! Thirty students represented Northwestern with outstanding behavior, enthusiasm, and true Tiger pride. They made wonderful memories together and are building lasting friendships along the way. 💜

We’re also proud to celebrate three Northwestern graduates who earned their American FFA Degree — the highest honor an FFA member can achieve! 🌟 Congratulations to Matthew Benson, Kelsie Avery, and Alec Fourez!

What a memorable week for our FFA chapter and alumni. Thank you for continuing to make Northwestern shine! 💛🐅💙
