St. James Public Schools Sends Off FFA State Champion to Nationals This morning, students and staff at St. James Public Schools gathered to celebrate Katelyn, who is traveling to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this week. The school community lined the halls of both buildings to give Katelyn a warm and spirited sendoff.
Katelyn earned the title of Minnesota State Champion in FFA Creed Speaking this past spring, and she will now proudly represent the state of Minnesota on the national stage.
The Saints Community is very proud of Katelyn’s accomplishment and the way she represents St. James and our state.
Congratulations and best of luck, Katelyn! #SJPSPride #NationalFFAConvention #FFA #GoSaints
