Olympia FFA has selected senior FFA member, Bree Abbott, as the member of the month for September. Bree is the daughter of Debra and Michael Abbott of Minier. Bree was selected for her outstanding achievements in horse judging as well as her involvement in FFA community service activities. This new monthly award is sponsored by Dietrich Builders, Inc.

Bree has been a dedicated FFA member for all four years of high school. Her supervised agricultural experience project centers around her horses. Bree plans to pursue a career as a veterinarian and would also like to train horses. She intends to start college at Heartland Community College and then transfer to Illinois State University.

Ultimately she hopes to attend vet school at Iowa State University. Bree is also active in McLean County 4-H and the Pekin Riding Club. “My passion is to help animals and people. I hope to open my own vet clinic out west,” states Abbott. A special thanks to Mark Dietrich of Dietrich Builders for sponsoring the member of the month award!
