EATON — On May 5, the Eaton MVCTC FFA Chapter participated in the Food for Thought Challenge at the State FFA Convention.

The Food for Thought Challenge was an effort to inform schools and communities about the importance of whole grains and gluten. The team for this challenge included Blake Whitesell Cole Whitesell, Daphne Durham, Mariah Brewer, and Trent Broermann. The chapter did a great job with this by their “Eaton Healthy” plan that included a school-wide nonperishable food drive, the creation of a food pantry for the middle school and high school, managing and becoming a vendor at the local farmers’ market, creating a garden on wheels, making healthy announcements over the middle and high school intercom, and creating raised beds in the school greenhouse.

The Eaton MVCTC FFA Chapter received third place overall in the state. Congratulations to the chapter for a great first year in this competition and the impact they have made on peoples’ health. The chapter plans to continue to promote healthy eating and living through agriculture in their community.
