Hey Serrano FFA! I’m Juliette Flores and I am so excited to serve you all as your 2024-2025 Chapter President. This year I am also serving as the High Desert Section Secretary. I am a junior and proudly in my third year of FFA, my time in this family has taught me a variety of different values which I hold close to my heart and try to apply into my daily life. 

My SAE project consists of raising lambs, and working for a flower shop creating floral arrangements. But I also love public speaking! I’d say my favorite competition so far, has been Impromptu. When I’m outside of my blue jacket, you can find me hanging out with friends or on trail rides. I love being able to meet new people and try to travel as much as I can. 

Hello Serrano FFA, my name is Caleb Bordeaux and I’m serving as this year’s Vice president! I’m a Junior and this is my 3rd year in FFA, Outside of the jacket you can find me playing guitar, listening to music or hangin’ out with friends. My years of service in the FFA have lead me to become a great public speaker and an even better team player, and my goal for this year is to have that same effect on everyone! I’m super excited for what this year holds for you.

Hey Serrano FFA! I’m Emily Snyder. I'm so thrilled to be serving as your 2024-2025 chapter secretary.I'm a senior and proud to say this is my second year in FFA, I’m beyond proud to call this program my family. They have shown several different values and have brought me out of my shell so much which I will forever be grateful for and carry this family with me wherever I go. I will forever hold this program in my heart and try to apply it to my day to day life.

My SAE projects consist of raising lambs for our sbc fair and working on a ranch working with horses. When I'm outside of my blue jacket you will find me spending my time with my friends and family. I spend most of my time camping in the desert riding dirt bikes or out at  the river boating.I also love traveling. One of my goals is to visit all the different states in America and go to a couple different countries.

I have 2 active SAE projects. My first SAE project is taking care of animals such as Pigs, dogs, turtles, and other smaller animals. My new project is dealing with wood like Splitting, sorting and selling wood for the winter. This year I am hoping to go to the fair and complete the requirements to earn my State Degree. I enjoy camping, hiking riding dirt bikes, and shooting. I am a Boy Scout part of troop 351 and go hiking and camping with them once or twice a month.

Hey Serrano FFA! I'm Abi Traore and I am so excited to be serving as your 2024-2025 reporter. I'm a junior and This is my third year in FFA. I love being in this program because it has taught me so much, not just about myself, but about others. I've been urged to step out of my comfort zone and in doing so, my eyes were opened to the endless possibilities in the FFA. I would never be in the position Im in today had it not been for some FFA members going to my middle school 3 years ago and showing me a rabbit. And I am proud I get to contribute to such an amazing program.

My SAE project consists of growing tomatoes and later on this year, I will be showing a Lamb at the SBC fair. Outside of the blue Jacket, you will find me in the school's wrestling room practicing, Or at church running media. I love going to the movies and hanging out with my friends but I love sitting in my rocking chair with my cat a little bit more. My goal as of right now is to eventually sell the tomatoes I grow.
