Future Farmers of America

Cooper joined the FFA organization at the school, Oak Farm Montessori. Crystal Leu is the Farm Manager at the school and she is absolutely fabulous. She got the kids involved in FFA and entered them into some contests which the students excelled at. Cooper did a public speaking contest and placed at regionals. He then moved onto the state competition and ended up winning first place in the state for individual public speaking. Essentially they gave him a topic and then gave him 30 minutes to research and prepare a speech. He performed the speech in front of a panel of judges and no audience. They critique the speech and gave him a first place rating in the entire state of Indiana. Pretty cool stuff!
