Congratulations to the Elma FFA members who competed last week at the 2026 Washington State FFA Convention & Expo! Anthony O. was crowned State Champion in Spanish Creed!
A total of 21 Elma FFA members attended the convention in Pullman while competing across 10 different events. They represented our chapter with professionalism, leadership, and pride.
In addition to earning State Champion status, Anthony earned fourth place in English Creed--the first person in State history to place Final Four in both Creed competitions.
The Elma Ag Marketing team earned eighth place, National Chapter earned seventh place, Dairy Cattle brought home third and fifth place plaques, and Poultry earned second and seventh place plaques. Myah G. was presented with and accepted her FFA State Degree.
In addition to competitions, members participated in leadership workshops, career development activities, and networking opportunities throughout the convention. We are incredibly proud of all our members for their hard work, dedication, and outstanding representation of Elma FFA!
