Golden Owl Award
🌾 "Every student can benefit from FFA." 🌾
A true advocate for his students, Alex Rodgers of Southeast Warren High School has been recognized as a 2025 Golden Owl Award Finalist! 🎉 His passion for agricultural education, commitment to leadership development, and hands-on approach have helped grow the SE Warren FFA chapter and provide life-changing opportunities for students.
From fundraising to build a school barn for students without farm space to mentoring and inspiring future leaders, Alex goes above and beyond. Out of over 570 nominations statewide, he is one of just seven educators selected for this prestigious honor!
Alex now has a chance to be named Iowa’s Agricultural Educator of the Year and win a $3,000 grand prize! Help us celebrate his incredible impact!
For FFA Week we did a new activity with the officers! We split us up into two groups, blue and gold. Whoever could solve the riddles and follow Mr. Rodgers instructions for a picture first wins. GOLD TEAM WON (Kaleigh, John, and Kiara). Thank you to all of our Alumni, supporters, staff and members that make our chapter great!
During National FFA Week, we had a fantastic opportunity to celebrate with an engaging lineup of four themed dress-up days. Participants enjoyed dressing up for Dress Like Your Parent, embraced nostalgia with Throwback Day, relaxed in their Pajamas for Pajama Day, and showed FFA spirit on Blue and Gold Day.
Iowa Ag Expo
On February 4th, we took 30 students to the Iowa Ag Expo at the Iowa Events Center to look at some of the new agricultural technologies.
Legislative Symposium
On January 22nd, we took 8 seniors to the Legislative Symposium at the Capitol Building and had the great opportunity to speak with Iowa State Representative Brooke Boden.
