FFA Needs Your Help! -- For the last few months a group of my
students worked to create a video for the Oklahoma Farm Bureau youth
video contest. I received word last week their video was chosen
to be in the finals. As of yesterday, June 1st, voting began. Obviously
the video with the most votes wins which is where we need your help!
The video is posted to YouTube, every time our video is watched
between now and June 14th we get a vote! I have posted the link
below, please share this with anyone you think would be willing
to help by watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6h5Lcii9xM
A little background on the contest- The video had to be created by students in an Oklahoma FFA or 4-H Club/Chapter, the video had to be less than 3 minutes long, and the video had to promote a positive message about agriculture. -- Thank you! -- Jennifer Hamlin 6/2/2014 |
