The FFA Chapter of Lorain County JVS held its annual banquet to celebrate the students’ successes and accomplishments of the past year. With family and friends in attendance, every career development event was announced and the top students in each event were awarded plaques and pins.
Beth Berthold, Landscape and Greenhouse Management instructor, and FFA advisor shared that the banquet is something she looks forward to each year.
“It is great to see the students from both the Agricultural Equipment Mechanics and the Landscape and Greenhouse Management programs come together to put on this annual event,” shared Berthold. “I always enjoy seeing the pride in the students as they are recognized for their achievements in front of their peers and family.”
