On September 28, Sierra FFA hosted the annual Discovery, Greenhand, and Chapter Degree Ceremonies in the Sierra High School Small Gym. The officers opened the meeting with a fun skit called “Dancing through the Decades,” where they choreographed short dance routines to songs from different decades. The chapter was able to reward 18 Discovery Degrees, 19 Greenhand Degrees, and 5 Chapter Degrees at the ceremony. The FFA Creed was presented during the ceremony by Nicholas Telles, Juniper Stewart, and Audrey Willis, Aiden Romero, and Peyton Hare. The Discovery Degree is the first degree a student can receive, beginning in 7th grade. This degree allows Junior High members to compete in contests and begin their FFA careers.
