West Branch FFA officer team retreat
BELOIT - The West Branch FFA officer team traveled to Ohio's Amish Country in June for its annual officer retreat.
During the trip, officers participated in several team-building activities that helped them improve communication, problem-solving and teamwork. The officers also spent time reflecting on past FFA events and discussing ways to improve them in the future. They shared ideas, gave feedback and began planning for the upcoming school year.
The retreat gave the team a chance to get to know each other better while having fun and preparing to lead the chapter. The officers returned with new ideas and are excited to put their plans into action for another great year in the West Branch FFA Chapter.
