I would like to introduce everyone to this young lady, Miss Olivia Buckeye as she will be joining the Medina Ag Ed Department this fall as she finishes up her undergraduate at NDSU as she student teaches with me. We are very excited to have her with us this coming fall. Below are a few words from Miss Buckeye: Hello everyone! I am so happy and excited to be here. My name is Olivia, also known as Miss Buckeye. I graduated high school from Edgeley in 2018. After graduation, I knew I wanted to stick with my passion for agriculture which is why I chose to major in Agricultural Education at NDSU. While on campus I kept myself very busy by being involved in Collegiate Cattlewomen, Saddle & Sirloin, and was a CAFSNR Ag Ambassador. In my free time I enjoy being outside doing pretty much anything. I especially like being on our farm working with my cattle. Again, I am beyond excited to be in Medina! I can’t wait to meet everyone and kick this school year off to a great start! Go Thunder!!

Medina Fall Festival will be Sept. 9-11. There are activities for all ages, Friday through Sunday. We will see you there!

The Medina FFA wants to apologize for all the miscommunications about the pitchfork fondue that was held last night (August 6th).

Tickets go one sale this coming week. Thank you again for your continued support!
