Rainier FFA is proud to announce that Makayla McCann and Kamaya VanLanker will be receiving their Oregon FFA State Degrees this March at the Oregon State FFA Convention. This honor represents the highest level of achievement a member can attain at the state level and recognizes years of dedication, leadership, and growth within the FFA organization. The State Degree is awarded to members who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), contributed significant hours of community service, shown strong leadership in their chapter, and upheld the values of the FFA. Only a small percentage of members across the state reach this milestone each year. Both Makayla and Kamaya will walk across the stage at the State Convention this March to receive their degrees. It will be a moment that represents years of effort, learning, and leadership. Rainier FFA is excited to celebrate their accomplishments and cheer them on as they reach this major milestone.
