Several of our talented student actors attended the Black Hills Playhouse Camp in July and performed The Little Mermaid. Gwen Quiett, Jude Holzwarth, Cerissa Chase, Ariel Lemler, and Gabby Goebel all shared their talent and developed their skills! Way to go, Battlers!





Kyley Saltsman received the Jessie Award during our Leadership retreat banquet!!
“Just like Jessie the yodeling cowgirl from Toy Story, this award goes to someone who lights up every room with their boundless energy, positive attitude, and can-do spirit. Whether they're cheering on a teammate, jumping into a challenge with both boots on, or spreading joy like sunshine, this individual reminds us all that enthusiasm is contagious and heart is everything.”
Congrats Kyley!!💙💛 We are so happy for you!!

Just a few things to be excited about in Gettysburg FFA this week!
Bobbi Eide is attending the Next Gen Conference Ag Education in Philadelphia this week! Throughout the week, she’ll engage in career‑focused experiences such as industry roundtables, interactive workshops, and site tours—all designed to immerse attendees in teaching and educational leadership within the agriculture sector. I knew this was the route she’d be taking 😉
Bradly Vasquez was chosen to attend the World Food Prize Event to present his paper! Bradley will join an elite cohort of high school delegates at the Global Youth Institute, taking place October 21–23, 2025, in Des Moines, Iowa. As a selected student delegate, he will present his paper to a panel of international agriculturalists, site-visits, connecting with global leaders in agriculture and student peers, and attending the Borlaug Dialogue! I attended this event as a high schooler, and cannot speak higher of how amazing this opportunity this is. Congrats Bradly!
This week, I am attending the National FFA Teacher Ambassador Program training in Indianapolis with other ag teachers/ambassadors from across the nation. Here I’ll learn to engage teachers in hands-on sessions to teach about National FFA Educator Resources, practices delivering professional development, and serve as a voice for teachers!
What a great week! 💙💛
