Hialeah Gardens Ffa Booster Inc

OUR CLUB PROVIDES LIFE CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS AND WE ARE PROUD OF THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS WITH THE FI NANCIAL SUPPORT THAT ALLOW THEM THE EXPERIENCES THAT TAKE OUR STUDENTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

HIALEAH GARDENS HIGH SCHOOL FFA CLUB IS OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL CHAPTER AFFI LIATED WITH THE NATIONAL FFA. OUR STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN COMPETITIONS THAT ARE FOCUSED ON CAREER DEVELOPMENT, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND IN PARTICIPATING IN THE SHOWCASING OF OUR LIVESTOCK/FARM ANIMALS AT THE MIAMI-DADE YOUTH FAIR AND EXPOSITION. THE FFA MOTTO IS: LEARNING TO DO, DOING TO LEARN, LIVING TO SERVE, SERVING TO LIVE. FOLLOWING OUR MOTTO, WE PROVIDE FUNDING FOR OUR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COMPETITIONS, FI ELD TRIPS, AND ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT PROVIDE THEM WITH EXPERIENCES AND EDUCATION TO HELP THEM BE PREPARED FOR THE WORKPLACE, FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, AND FOR BEING CIVIC MINDED MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. BEING PREPARED FOR PARTICIPATION IN AS MANY EVENTS AS POSSIBLE FOR AS MANY STUDENTS AS POSSIBLE REQUIRES OUR CLASSROOM TO BE THE MAIN HUB FOR STUDENTS, WHERE THEY CAN PREPARE THEIR COMPETITION MATERIALS, THEREFORE OUR CLASSROOM MUST BE MAINTAINED WITH THE PROPER EQUIPMENT/MATERIALS SUCH AS COLOR PRINTER, PAPER, JOURNALS, AND BOOKS. WE, AT HIALEAH GARDENS HIGH SCHOOL, ALSO HAVE A FARM THAT HAS COWS, GOATS, RABBITS, CHICKENS, AND DUCKS. THESE ANIMALS HAVE THEIR DAILY NEEDS TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY AND SAFE. THESE ANIMALS ARE THE ANIMALS THAT STUDENTS SHOWCASE AT OUR LOCAL YOUTH FAIR. STUDENTS MAINTAIN THE FARM BY CLEANING AND DISINFECTING, MONITORING THE NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL, MAINTAINING THE CAGES/PENS, AND IN GROOMING THE ANIMALS. THE INVENTORY OF TOOLS FOR CLEANING AND FOR FARM MAINTENANCE IS ONE OF THE LARGER COSTS FOR OUR PROGRAM AND PROVIDES OUR STUDENTS WITH THE PROPER ANIMAL HUSBANDRY SKILLS SO THAT THEY MAY PROPERLY CARE FOR OUR ANIMALS.
