One cool opportunity I had this week was to sit in and watch a couple of senior presentations. Pequea Valley requires seniors to present presentations as part of their requirement for graduation. This is the first year of them doing it, so it was new to everyone. Presentations are about 15 minutes long with questions from the judges at the end. The presentations are for seniors to showcase their accomplishments from the past four years and how they are prepared to enter college or the workforce after graduation.
The few I watched were my current seniors in class. It was great for me to see their journey through high school and FFA. It was incredible to see how being part of the Ag Ed program, and FFA has shaped them into who they are now. They credited a lot of their success to the Ag program and how FFA gave them direction to what they wanted to pursue after high school.
When I was a senior in high school, my ag teacher had the seniors do a presentation as well. As I sat and watched I remember my time in my Ag program with all the experiences I had. It gave me a path to pursue just as it did for these seniors.
A question I have is, do other schools or chapters have seniors do some sort of senior presentations as a ticket out of the program?
Manny, attending senior presentations for your students is another way to show your support of the school community, and to continue to build positive rapport. The idea of senior presentations is a neat concept, and can help prepare students for presentations they will need to do in college and in their careers. Cool stuff!
