Peterson reflects on year as State FFA officer

That journey grew and eventually led to serving as the State FFA Sentinel last year. The Sentinel is typically the office responsible for welcoming others, having a smiling face and encouraging and including others to become involved.

They planned and conducted workshops and activities to help members get involved in FFA and show them opportunities in the organization.
