Congratulations to last month's First Security Leadership Award Recipient: Harrison Baker! 
Harrison recently served as chairman of the FFA Conduct of Chapter Meetings Team where his team won 1st place in sub-area and 1st place in District contests. Harrison also qualified for district competition by placing in the top 16 in FFA Knowledge. Harrison went on and placed 2nd at the District level in FFA knowledge with oral questions. Harrison will compete in state competition in Hot Springs in April in both Conduct of Chapter meetings and in FFA knowledge. These 2 contests are Leadership Career Development Events and Harrison has excelled!. Harrison is also a great leader when he is needed to help a classmate or teacher in other areas regardless of if it is in the classroom, shop or livestock facilities both in and outside of class.

Mrs. Dewey has a special guest from MHK: Mr. Kevin Roach. They discuss Kindergarten readiness, registration, and back-to-school information for our little Bombers -- the class of 2038! https://youtu.be/NurTzuxCkfs
