To its owner, the FFA jacket is a physical reminder of the personal accomplishments achieved through the organization - a symbol of commitment and dedication for all who wear the corduroy. This fall, a record number 450 South Dakota FFA members from 84 chapters, received their own FFA jacket - carrying forward that long-standing tradition of pride, dignity and honor. Freeman’s jackets were sponsored by Dakota Grain Connection, GDM Solutions, Inc & Agtegra Cooperative through the SD FFA Foundation program. FFA members filled out the Blue Jackets Bright Futures FFA Jacket Program application, answering short essay questions about their FFA experience and goals, competing to earn their own FFA jacket instead of purchasing one. 2023 recipients from Freeman are: Megan Mendel, Ethan Buchmann, Ruth Glanzer, & Olivia Smith.

Congratulations to the Phoenix on their 32-28 win over the Buffaloes in Ft. Pierre tonight. The Phoenix head to Platte next Thursday to take on the Platte-Geddes Black Panthers in 9AA Quarterfinal action. Go Phoenix!
