Monument Valley FFA Chapter Featured On PBS NewsHour
https://www.ffa.org/ag-angle/monument-valley-ffa-chapter-featured-on-pbs-newshour/
The agricultural education program of an impressive Arizona FFA Chapter earned more recognition this week as it was featured on PBS NewsHour. Monument Valley FFA Chapter, located in Kayenta, Arizona, is home to a career and technical education program that defies odds and serves students inside the Navajo Nation. The program is coordinated by Clyde McBride, recently named as an Education Week Leader To Learn From: McBride, who is the director of career and technical education in the 2,000-student Kayenta Unified school district, started this program in 1990 and has built it into a powerhouse that catapults students past the odds they’d face without it. In a Native American community of high poverty and unemployment, his 200 students outscore their peers statewide on math and English tests, and 100 percent graduate from high school, outstripping the statewide average by 22 percentage points. Three-quarters of McBride’s graduates enroll in college or training programs. The rest go straight into the workforce. “The work he does and the successes of his students are phenomenal,” says Jeanne Roberts, who oversees [...]

GUEST ARTICLE: Take a Vacation from Social Media
https://www.ffa.org/2017/05/09/take-vacation-from-social-media/
Hi guys! My name is Alexa Curtis and I am a teen influencer and bullying expert. When I was 12, I started a blog to inspire other teens to follow their dreams. Now, I get to follow mine and inspire you to follow yours! I wanted to talk a bit about the positive and negative sides of the web. While I know the pitfalls of social media, I also know and understand the importance of social media for personal connections, as well as businesses. Sometimes, I wake up and feel so stressed out and overwhelmed with the internet. I hate knowing that I’m supposed to wake up each morning and immediately check my Instagram or Facebook feed, mainly because that’s my job. Last month, I decided I should take one day off per week from the web. So far, it’s making me happier than I’ve ever been. Have you ever taken a vacation from social media? My business partner for my nonprofit, Steve, took a break from social media 2 years ago. He, along with myself, [...]
