Top FFA Point Winners Go Down River

Twenty-seven Atwater FFA students earned a trip rafting down the Stanislaus River on June 7th in recognition of being 2008-2009 Atwater FFA Point Award winners. The FFA Point Awards system was developed in order to recognize and award those members who are most active in various FFA activities throughout the year.

These year’s recipients visited Knights Ferry and the Sunshine Rafting Adventure Company. “The river and scenery was awesome!” said FFA member JD Brownwood, “My favorite part of the trip was squirting and splashing water on my classmates.”  The trip represented an opportunity for staff and students to enjoy the year’s end and enjoy each other’s company on a fun-filled summer day.

“These students represent the ‘cream of the crop’ within our chapter and it was nice to reward their efforts and contributions to our program with this trip,” said FFA advisor Beth Knapp.

Atwater High School students who attended the 2008-2009 Atwater FFA Point Award trip included Joslyn Apodaca , Hector Ayala , Terilyn Bettencourt , James Bray , John Brownwood , Ali Copeland , Mekayla Coughran , Sasha Delmuro , Stefani Dias , Gilberto Garcia , Laura Gonzalez , Lauren Navarro , Richard Ornelas , Paul Ortiz , Stephanie Quintana, Lillana Reyes , Mason Rose , Grant Rose , Nicolette Schiber , Vannessa  Sevilla , Amanda Solis , Mary Thao , Mai Kia Vang , Jose Vargas , Jackie Vasquez , Kia Vue , and Christina Willman.
