Howdy AMP families and students, The following are important events and happenings for the week of April 20th. 2020-2021 James Madison FFA Chapter Officer Election Process The time has come to begin the selection process for the 2020 - 2021 James Madison FFA Chapter Officer Team. From today through April 26th, AMP students may view the speeches of this year's candidates to help determine who will serve as an officer in 2020 - 2021. Speeches can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/XdN-PzdLSZ4 Information about voting will be available in next Sunday's AMP Happenings. 2020 North East Ag Fair Livestock Show Informational Meeting The AMP staff had scheduled an informational meeting on Tuesday, April 21st to share with you about the voluntary opportunity to raise and exhibit a livestock animal at the 2020 North East Ag Fair. As you know, we are unable to hold this informational meeting through our traditional face-to-face means due to the closure of our school campuses. Therefore, we will be sharing this information through a virtual presentation that you can access on demand. We will post the presentation on our website (www.JamesMadisonFFA.com) by 6:00 pm on Tuesday, April 21st and send an email communication with a direct link. The North East Ag Fair is an annual platform where AMP students showcase their skills and abilities to our school and community through a variety of activities. One of the most popular activities our students engage in for the North East Ag Fair is the exhibition of livestock to gain knowledge and experience in actual production agriculture. The possibility of raising a livestock project (i.e. - goats, rabbits, sheep, or swine) is a fantastic way to get hands on skills in agriculture and is one of many ways a student can meet the goal of having a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE) program in the AMP. Therefore, it is highly recommended any student interested in raising and exhibiting a livestock project for the 2020 North East Ag Fair watch the virtual presentation with their parent/guardian. Again, the presentation will be posted on our website by 6:00 pm on Tuesday, April 21st. 2021 Major Show Lamb Projects If a student is interested in learning more about raising and exhibiting a lamb project for the 2021 major shows, please complete the following form by April 24th: https://forms.gle/52nhyFkvPu9deUvz7 Mr. Price will be providing information specific to raising and exhibiting lamb projects for the 2021 majors shows to those students that complete the form. 2021 Major Show Goat Projects If a student is interested in learning more about raising and exhibiting a goat project for the 2021 major shows, please complete the following form by May 1st: https://forms.gle/ZXwfTwgm5VYCG3tt7 Mrs. Leita will be providing information specific to raising and exhibiting goat projects for the 2021 major shows to those students that complete the form. Livestock Show Premium Check Distribution - Monday, April 27th AMP staff will be distributing payment checks earned by students that exhibited livestock at the 2019 North East Ag Fair Livestock Show, Bexar County Jr. Livestock Show, San Angelo Livestock Show, San Antonio Livestock Show, and the Houston Livestock Show on Monday, April 27th from 11:00am to 1:00pm - curbside distribution in the AMP main parking lot. Students must pay any outstanding obligations to the FFA chapter before livestock payment checks will be released to the student. Students may contact Mrs. Fuller ([email protected]) or their livestock supervisor to find out if they owe any obligations. Obligation payments must be paid by cash or check in the exact amount only (we will not be able to provide change for cash payments). Staff will also be distributing payment checks for any livestock sold at public auction. 2020 AMP Awards Application As we do at the end of each school year, the AMP recognizes student achievements from throughout the school year in many different areas. Typically, this recognition is done at the annual AMP Awards Gala scheduled to be held on May 19, 2020 (this event is pending at this time). Regardless of the current COVID-19 situation in our community and country, the AMP would still like to recognize the efforts and achievements by students. The 2020 AMP Awards Application is now available for students to apply to 37 different award categories for recognition. For a student to be considered for any of the award categories, they must check the award area that they are applying for and briefly explain why they should receive the award. Students may apply for multiple award categories, however, must submit a separate award application for each category. Award applications must be submitted online through the following link and are due by May 1, 2020: https://forms.gle/dSJM2xTMdoCUFjLs6 AMP End of the Year and Senior Tribute Slideshows A yearly tradition that AMP students look forward to are the video slideshows that are an important part of our AMP Awards Gala.
