A little snack outreach to the farmers and truckers bringing in the harvest at Hostetter Grain Inc. Thank you to the less than 2% of the producers feeding the other 98%. Proud to be in a farming community and proud that Oxford FFA could put together a little free range snack station in the weigh ticket office Shout out to Herr's for helping us with the chips. Grow it here. Eat it here.

Another wonderful Oxford community Halloween parade in the books. So, very proud of the teamwork and dedication of our Oxford FFA youth. It took lots of planning, prep, and follow through. Well done! Shout out to Atlantic Tractor for providing the tractor and driver for us and to Cecil County Fair for the use of a wagon.

June 11-13 when most students were already sleeping in for summer vacation , these fine FFA folks chose to attend and compete at the PA State FFA Convention. I am beyond proud of our Oxford youth, 5th place team out of 15 teams for Horse Evaluation with a 5th place individual out of 97 contestants. Two of our horse team were first year doing this CDE. In Wildlife we had 5th place individual out of 87 contestants, and 5th place individual in Meats Evaluation out of 31 contestants. Overall there were more than 2000 students, advisors , speakers, judges, and guests sharing the stage at the Bryce Jordan Center and multiple venues throughout the main campus PSU. What a great real life experience and fun opportunity for Oxford FFA. We believe in the future of agriculture and more importantly the future of growing young leaders!

Over 500 members from scores of chapters participated in workshops geared towards learning and practicing parliamentary procedure, professional etiquette , and the legislative process. Lots of networking and fellowship sprinkled in makes for tired but well grown youth leaders. We Believe!

November 2023 - when most students and teachers are racing to get out of the school pre-holiday, these great youth at Oxford FFA asked to have a Friendsgiving in the ag room. They brought or fixed all the food and even cleaned up. Let’s hope it is a new tradition.

So proud of Oxford FFA members. They helped out with the petting zoo held Oxford Feed & Lumber as part of Hometown Friday They prepped a nice display ,had some bunnies to snuggle, and colored Jack o lantern pictures with community kids. Then they cleaned it all up. It’s a sight to see students in official FFA dress shoveling up after farm animals but not a grumble in the bunch. We got a little damp but it certainly didn’t dampen the fellowship and friendships.

Had an admin who needed a little pet therapy but couldn’t leave the office so took the pet to them.

Day 1 of the PA State FFA Convention at Penn State main campus. Oxford has students competing in Horse Evaluation, Mests Judging, Aquatics, Wildlife, and Environmental and Natural Resources, and Dairy Handlers, as well as one student serving as delegate to discuss and vote on FFA policy that will be sent up to the National FFA level. This Advisor’s feet are TIRED…but my heart is so proud of our awesome young leaders. We believe!

Beautiful afternoon to pop a few native tree seedlings into the ground here at school. Lots of giggling, a few dirt clods chucked, and a positive investment in our future. What will grow more; the trees or the students? My money is on the FFA youth. We believe!

From all of us at Oxford FFA we wish you safe travels and the happiest of holidays. We believe not just in the future of agriculture but in the future of the young learners, doers, and stewards that FFA helps to grow.

🚨 THIS JUST IN! 🚨

Another community holiday event in the books for Oxford FFA. These fine young folks gave up a Saturday morning to interact with younger kids and families to celebrate the holiday. Our activity was to make edible ornaments for the wild things. Even the furry and the feathered can get a boost when the weather turns cold. So very proud of the ethic, teamwork, and positive mindset that our FFA chapter actives deliver in everything they do.
