Howdy AMP families and students,
The following are important events and happenings for the week of April 4th. Upcoming Events
2022-2023 James Madison FFA Chapter Officer Application The James Madison FFA Chapter is looking for dedicated and hard-working students to serve as chapter officer for the 2022-2023 school year. Each year the chapter officer team plans and implements chapter events and encourages members to participate. In order to be considered for a chapter officer position, interested students and a parent/guardian must attend a MANDATORY meeting on Tuesday, April 5th at 6:00PM in the AG130.

The possibility of raising a livestock project (goats, lambs, rabbits, 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) project in the AMP. The AMP staff will be sharing information about the opportunity to raise and exhibit a livestock animal at the 2022 AMP Livestock Expo (generally known as the JV livestock program) through individual breakout sessions for goats, lambs, rabbits, and swine from 7:00PM to 8:00PM on Tuesday, April 19th in the AMP Complex. Students and parents/guardians will be able to attend two breakout sessions of their choice that evening. We will post an informational presentation about the AMP Livestock Expo and all necessary documents on the AMP Livestock Expo website in the coming weeks (https://amplivestockexpo.weebly.com). Students and parents/guardians should view the informational presentation prior to attending the species breakout sessions on April 19th. 2023 Major Show Goat Projects If a student is interested in learning more about raising and exhibiting a goat project for the 2023 major shows, Mrs. Leita is hosting an interest meeting for students and their parent/guardian on Tuesday, April 12, 2022 at 6:00PM in AG120.
