Sami Perschall recognized as District FFA Proficiency Winner

 

[March 23, 2019] 

Sami Perschall was selected as the District FFA Proficiency Winner in Agricultural Processing. Sami is a member of the Hartsburg-Emden FFA Chapter of the Illinois Association FFA. Illinois FFA recognizes students in fifty different areas based on their work-based learning, also known as Supervised Agricultural Experiences or SAE.

FFA members who demonstrate outstanding agricultural skills and competencies through record keeping, leadership, and scholastic achievement may be considered for this award. SAEs allow students to learn by doing by either owning and operating an agricultural business, working or serving an internship at an agriculture-based business or conducting an agriculture-based scientific experiment and reporting results.

Sami was selected as the District 3 Winner by a committee of agriculture industry representatives and teachers knowledgeable in this work-based area. Sami is the daughter of Robert and Sonja Perschall from Hartsburg.

Receiving this honor now makes Sami eligible to compete in the State FFA Awards Selection process in Urbana-Champaign on March 23, 2019. Sami was previously chosen as the Chapter and Section awardee is this area.

Sami will receive plaques for their accomplishments. These plaques are made possible by gifts by individuals, businesses, corporations and organizations through the Illinois Foundation FFA.
