Oct 25, 2022 The Central High FFA chapter made their trip to Indianapolis, Indiana for the 2022 95th annual National FFA convention. The first day they traveled halfway and stopped in St. Louis, Missouri. While there they went to the St. Louis Arch and museum for an educational experience. Waiting for their turn to travel to the top of the arch, they explored the museum which included rich history about the Native Americans and the cowboys as well as history about the arch and how it was built. There were stories from the men that helped construct the arch explaining their process and how they achieved the completion of the monumental structure. Wednesday morning they all packed up and headed the rest of the way to Indianapolis. When they arrived they went and checked into the convention center at Lucas Oil Stadium as well as looking around and shopping. Afterwards they went to dinner, then to Top Golf and enjoyed some quality time as a team and bonded closer with each other. Thursday morning the team got ready in their official dress for the opening ceremonies. During the ceremony they had the opportunity to hear the national officers speak and give history behind the FFA. National FFA president Cole Baerlocher spoke about the things he loved and how everyone can achieve great things. There was also a motivational speaker Tamika Catchings that spoke about her life experiences and how even through having a hearing disability and a speech impediment she accomplished much in her life as well as her olympic basketball career at four different Olympics. After the closing of the opening ceremonies the team went on to participate in several workshops that would help grow the FFA officers as leaders. They also met up with the FFA chapter from Torrington, Wyoming and viewed agriculture colleges from all over the nation with them. Friday morning the team got dressed and ready to go back to the convention center for their last day of workshops and classes as well as more shopping. That evening the officers went to a team building and education escape room. Even though they didn't finish the room in time everyone enjoyed being together and working jointly to try and get out. That evening they all went to dinner in Indianapolis and discussed the plans for the Chapter and how to grow upon the program. Saturday the 29th they made their long journey home to Kansas sharing many laughs and memories.
