Sussex Academy students who launched a Future Farmers of America chapter this fall have wasted no time getting involved in the community.

United by a love of animals and interest in agriculture, students officially launched the FFA chapter Sept. 24. Many students have experience working on farms and with animals, and they saw the chapter as a way to further develop their leadership skills.

Sussex Academy FFA members organized a float to participate in the Georgetown Christmas parade Dec. 5. Chapter members plan to take part in various competitions this year, attend the state convention in March and prepare for showings in the Delaware State Fair.

To join the Sussex Academy FFA chapter, students must be enrolled in agriscience and/or environmental courses during the year.
