By Chelsa Reardon, Lindsay Academy FFA Chapter advisor and agricultural educator

This year marks an exciting milestone for the Lindsay Academy school and community as we proudly launch our very own FFA chapter. As a lifelong member of the Lindsay community, it is truly special to give back to my hometown by helping students explore the incredible opportunities that agricultural education and FFA have to offer.
