The Cloister FFA is proud to announce the results of fall regional CDEs. Our chapter was very well represented on Tuesday, competing against students from other chapters in Schuylkill, Lebanon, Berks, Bucks, Cumberland, and Chester counties in forestry and horse evaluation. They’ve been studying and preparing since the beginning of the year for this event. In forestry they identified different trees, samples of lumber, and forestry tools, and measured tree volume using Biltmore sticks and unknown distances using pacing. In horse evaluation, they placed four classes of horses and identified different color markings and hoof diseases. Without further ado, here are their results:

Forestry

8th in the county, freshman Raina Foran

4th in the county, sophomore Jansen Balmer

3rd in the county, junior Genna Ellis

2nd in the county & 6th overall out of 35, sophomore Lily Moore

 

Horse Evaluation

37th in the county, freshman Lindsey Murphy

22nd in the county, junior Carsyn Greene

19th in the county, junior Maelene Riehl

If you see any individuals in the hallway, give them a fist bump to help celebrate their accomplishments!
