PITMAN FFA
School Garden & Vineyard
GUSTINE FFA
Submitted by Hector Flores
At the beginning of the school year Pitman FFA was lucky enough to have been given
the opportunity to manage the Pitman High School garden and vineyard. Throughout
the year, our members visited the garden and vineyard and helped plant new crops
to be harvested. Our members worked hard, and tirelessly to get the best out of this
experience! Members of our chapter had the chance to prune the grapevines, which
would later be turned into wine, and be used as thank you gifts for our supportive
community members. This opened the eyes to many members because it gave them
a sense of appreciation towards the agriculture industry and everything it has to offer!
Pitman FFA members definitely got to live by the lines of the FFA motto “Learning to do,
Doing to learn.”

Point Awards Trip to AT&T
Park
Submitted by Nicholas Alamo
Every Year the Gustine FFA Program grants twenty of its members
the chance to attend a San Francisco Giants game. The decision to
pick who goes on the trip is based on a point system that gives said
points to those who participate the most in the program’s activities.
This past week, Gustine FFA attended a Giants game against the
Atlanta Braves, and even though the Braves won, the members still
appreciated the lengths the advisors went through to get the kids to
have a good time. This trip isn’t only a chance to admire the effort of
the kids, but it’s also to acknowledge the hard work of the advisors
inside and outside of school.
We want to hear from your chapter!
1) Submit a 100-150 word article about a recent activity.
a. Please do not include members’ or advisors’ names within the article.
b. The article should be about an interesting/unique type of FFA activity. This is
an opportunity to showcase new and innovative chapter activities.
2) Attach a GREAT quality digital photo of the activity.
a. Photos should be in color and help further explain the submitted article.
b. Photos must be sent as individual jpeg files.
