Regional CDE's Update

Sargent FFA members went to Lamar Community College to compete in Regional CDE's on April 6th. We brought 35 members to compete. Over 700 students were registered for these competitions. Though the vast majority of our chapter had never competed in these in person events before, we did extremely well! Check out some of our awards below:

We are incredibly proud of all competitors and are excited to see how we do at the state competitions in May!
