Several Collinsville FFA members traveled to Oklahoma City on April 30, 2013. We had several members who we would like to recognize for their efforts and achievements. First of all, Michaela Branen and Brianna McKinney both received their State FFA Degree which is an honor that only a few hundred students receive each year out of approximately 24,000 members in the state. Three members, Dustin Burch, Michaela Branen, and Brianna McKinney received a career passport in Animal Science- Animal Production Assistant. This award requires each student to pass a comprehensive test over the topic area with a score of at least 80%. Upon passing the test the Oklahoma Department of Careertech deems these individuals knowledgeable enough to be an efficient worker in the field.

We also had an individual win a state proficiency award. Out of all of the members across the state who apply for the award only the top three in the state are recognized and we are proud to say Michaela Branen won the First Place State Proficiency Award in the area of Landscape Management. In addition you will see another article posted in the near future regarding the Legislative Dinner held at convention. Collinsville FFA was chosen to attend this year. This dinner gives one member and the chapter advisor the opportunity to host the local Senators and Representatives at a dinner and the chance to personally thank them for all their work in supporting us.

All in all, it was a great trip and as the Chapter Advisor, I was very proud of all those in attendance and their efforts leading up to the awards they were recognized for.
