Greetings from our trusty school van being driven by Mr. Sobba! Your Udall FFA is headed home from National Convention in Indianapolis. Good thoughts for safe travels Eagles 🦅❤️🦅

The junior class visited the 2025 Career Expo in Hutchinson today. This is the largest college and career fair in Kansas. They visited booths from two and four year colleges, certification programs, apprenticeships, and military branches. The Expo expects over 5,000 students over the two day event.

Final score

FFA National Convention Day 4: Breakfast at our favorite Indy stop-Flapjacks!! Pre-session dance party with Blue (the Indianapolis Colts mascot)! Session 2: *65,899 blue-jacketed folks got to hear the traditional opening ceremony done entirely in Spanish. *Then an Empowering message from The United States Secretary of Agricultural Brooke Rollins. *The retiring address of Eastern Region Vice President National Officer Caroline Groth: The Truth Revolution What lies do we tell ourselves? I'm unworthy? I'm helpless? I'm unlovable? The first step in overcoming those thoughts is recognizing them for what they are - LIES. **Defeat the lies. **Remember the Truth. Find the Good. Be the Good. Choose the Good. **Lean on People - find your cheer squad and reach out to your people. **Lean on Faith - start your day with what grounds you. You're not Unworthy! You're not Helpless! You're not Unlovable! Find the Truth - Be the Truth - Live the Truth! Truth Revolution!

Mr. Welch's 7th and 8th grade science students and high school environmental science students participated in part of the Monarch Watch program, tagging 46 migrating monarchs this fall.

The tags were from Monarch Watch (KU), and scientists will check monarchs for tags in Mexico over the winter (December through January). The scientists will then record the tags in a database. Udall students will check online to see if any of the 46 butterflies tagged in Udall made it to Mexico.

FFA National Convention Day 3: Up EARLY to drive from St. Louis to Indianapolis in the rain. So blessed we traveled safely! Then it was on to the FFA National Convention Expo Hall and then Opening Session! How about those 69,453 blue jacketed folks?! WOW! Ella represented us well when the National FFA president himself asked her a gameshow question! And the speaker was the dynamic A'Ric Jackson - Destroy Your Box Limits that other people put on us Limitations we put on ourselves These things put us in a box Don't be afraid to destroy your box! 1. Acknowledge the box (what's holding you down). 2. Forgive the situation so you can move on (don't let whatever that was hold you back anymore). 3. Move on and move forward to your new opportunities (the world is wide open for you). That box: If you pick it up - put it down! "Do you" - empower yourself ! Destroy your box and use it as confetti to celebrate your successes!

Reminder to families. Today is late start Wednesday. Breakfast starts at 8:30. School starts at 9:05.

FFA National Convention 2025 Day 2: 1st stop - World Bird Sanctuary. What an AMAZING place doing incredible conservation work! Then serendipity worked its magic and Lone Elk Park was just across the road and had a herd of elk and a herd of bison (plus some beautiful whitetail deer and wild turkey). (post 3 of 3)
