ACMS FFA Floriculture Team with Ricky Barnes, ACMS FFA Advisor.
ACMS FFA Team places first at State Event
The Appling County Middle School FFA Floriculture Team recently competed in the State FFA Floriculture Career Development Event where they placed first in the Junior Competition. This was a stiff competition, which started out with nearly 100 high schools and middle schools, but Appling County Middle School really shined bright! The event was held at Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, on Saturday, February 4.
Team members Chris Cook, Carson Carter, Autumn Bailey, Francisco Segura and Kaley Carter became eligible to compete at the state event after winning the Area Six Floriculture Career Development Event. Team members were responsible for identifying floriculture and bedding plant materials, along with taking a general horticulture knowledge exam.
