BIG Conference Review:
SOROCO FFA had the privilege to take 20 of our first year FFA members to BIG Conference in Rangely, Colorado. Our students got to meet first year members from the other chapters across District One, meet our Colorado FFA State Officers, explored everything FFA has to offer, and even learned some new line dances to bust a move at the 2025 Colorado FFA State Convention next June!
Our District 1 officer team also met during the conference to get some workshop planning done for the upcoming District Leadership Conference!
Annual FFA Degree Ceremony and Bull Fry!
Annual FFA Degree Ceremony and Bull Fry!
Every year, SOROCO FFA celebrates the achievements of our students in the earning of their FFA degrees! Our first year FFA members will be receiving their Greenhand FFA Degrees, and our second year members will be receiving their Chapter FFA Degrees. We will also recognize our students who received their State FFA Degrees at the Colorado FFA State Convention over the summer.
It is tradition that we have Rocky Mountain Oysters for dinner at the degree ceremony. However, don't let that scare you off; we also have chicken! Side dishes will be homemade by our very own food products class.
Our degree ceremony will be held on October 16th at 6:30 p.m. in the SOROCO High School commons. This is open to the community and we hope to see everyone there!
Students: Bring a dessert to share with everyone!
Degree Ceremony Overview:
Thank you to everyone who came to support the SOROCO FFA Chapter at our annual Degree Ceremony and Bull Fry! It was wonderful celebrating the accomplishments of our students, and award them with their degree pins they can wear proudly on their FFA Jackets.

District Leadership Conference

District Leadership Conference (DLC) is a conference for all FFA members across District One that has workshops focused on leadership development. This is the perfect opportunity to meet other FFA members from our District, along with a couple of our Colorado FFA State Officers!
This year, SOROCO is hosting DLC! It will be on November 15th in the high school, and we would love members to help us set up and tear down.
