National FFA SAE Grant Recipients Announced!!!! The Keya Paha FFA Chapter is pleased to announce that Daisy and Morgan have received an SAE Grant each for $1000 to help them expand their current SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience). Daisy's SAE Grant Sponsor was Topcon. She will be using the funds to help expand her hair sheep production SAE. Daisy raises hair sheep to utilize diverse rotational grazing on her families ranch and sells her wethers straight to customers for meat. Morgan's SAE Grant Sponsor was Farm Credit. The grant money will be used to expand his cattle herd by purchasing more heifers. One of his goals is to expand his herd by 20% annually for the next 7 years and plans on using artificial insemination to better his herds genetics in growth rate and maternal characteristics. Congratulations to both Daisy and Morgan! A full list of National SAE Recipients can be found here: https://ffa.app.box.com/s/0gvmqdjiykbhoubtfuipm6ch3e25xhbz/file/895279345771

Nurse Kristy talked to the kindergarten students about germs and then did an experiment with them to see how well they wash their hands.

The kindergarten class participated in a Blast Off activity with NE Extension educators Chandra and Debra. The student learned about being an Aerospace Engineer. The students worked together and made a rocket and then blasted them off.
