The Munford FFA Chapter has organized a GoFFA Program in which the students are given the opportunity to travel throughout the World. The theme of the program is "Putting Culture in Agriculture". Last year, Mrs. Ashley Bringle organized a trip to Costa Rica for the first trip of the program. It was a huge success and the students benefited tremendously. The plan is to offer an International Trip every other year with a Continental USA Trip on the alternating years; therefore, this year GoFFA will be traveling to the Southwest Region of our country. The goal of the program is to open students eyes to what agricutlure has to offer here in the United States.
Four FFA Chapters have joined together to fill the bus for 2013 to include Paris, Halls, Brightona and Munford.
Students will be traveling by charter bus to: (see attached itinerary for more details)
