ACES 2018

I was able to attend ACES the last weekend with Fort Cherry, Trinity, and McGuffey! Even though I was in FFA in high school, I had never been to ACES before and it was a really great experience!

After getting the students checked in, they were ready to go and excited to be there! The first night, we talked with the students about what they learned for the day. There were workshops they really liked and some they didn't care for too much. However, all in all, the students really enjoyed themselves.

Following the AWESOME dinner, the students got ready for the dance that evening. It was nice to sit with the teachers from my region while chaperoning the dance and talk with them and get to know them better, while they also got to know me. I also felt like I was able to get to know my students better. Sharing a meal with someone I think leads to a different level of bonding.

Katie and I were on courtesy corps together too! We were able to talk and catch up while walking the halls. We lucked out with a pretty easy hall and not too much noise, however we did have to knock on a couple of doors.

Also, sometimes hems and rip and you have to sing - just roll with the punches and keep on going!

Overall, I think that this is a great event for all students and especially freshman and sophomore students! They learn a lot and also get to have fun all while meeting new people from across the state early in their FFA journey.
