Nine students from Gloucester High School’s Future Farmers of America program recently attended the 97th annual Virginia State FFA Convention in Blacksburg. Zoey Berezansky, Natalie Walke, Savanna Harris and Skylar Klaiss competed in the veterinary science contest and Klaiss and Abby Brown assisted in running the floriculture contest. The chapter was awarded a National Chapter award for an excellent program of activities. The floriculture team, which consisted of Ailin Harpole, Emma Lynch, Hailey Ware and Eliza Felder, competed as well, earning second place in the state.
