Congratulations to WHS Senior, Ashlee Henderson, for being chosen as an Arkansas FFA National Delegate. Ashlee will represent Arkansas at the 96th National FFA Convention as one of the delegates of the business sessions.
Ashlee and other Arkansas students attended the Arkansas FFA National Delegates training in Northwest Arkansas recently. The group toured the Walmart Home Office, sat in workshops about how Walmart operations are tied to Agriculture, discussed National Delegate Committees, ate dinner at Southern Food Company, participated in team bonding, visited with FFA members at the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences Tailgate, and attended FFA Day at University of Arkansas Razorback Stadium.
It's a great day to be a Warrior!
