A little bit of history is being made this summer! Three Forks FFA is sending two FFA members to WLC (Washington Leadership Conference)! This is the first time Three Forks FFA members have attended WLC. The two members attending this trip are Kortney Merritt and Gracie White! The Washington Leadership Conference offers FFA members a premier leadership experience, exposing them to the rich history of Washington, D.C. WLC inspires FFA members to become changemakers in their communities. Each day of the conference focuses on a different principle taught through the context of our nation’s capital. These principles include exploration, encouragement, advocacy, and service. At the end of the week, members leave with a Living to Serve Plan they can implement in their communities. Have fun, Kortney and Gracie! Be sure to ask them about their trip when they return!

There will be a Three Forks Special School Board meeting on Monday, June 23, 2025. https://docs.google.com/document/d/19SrMN-9scaS5AAnB3AOkTe4Ig4TcY94p95r50b5iL5k/edit?usp=sharing
