District FFA Leadership Contest
The Diller-Odell FFA Chapter competed in the District 5 Leadership Contest held in Aurora. The event provides members the opportunity to practice and develop their speaking and parliamentary procedure skills and knowledge.
The junior parliamentary procedure team, made up of Theresa Zarybnicky, Katie Schultis, Cody Scheele, Bailey Schroeder, Joslyn Edmond, Madison Jurgens, and Reese Hennerberg placed first in the event which qualified them for the state competition in the spring.
