I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day holiday! Remembering our fallen heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom is definitely the main focus of the holiday. Many friends and families have lost loved ones in our area. We made all of the cemetery rounds also to put out flowers and really enjoyed seeing all of the unique and beautiful arrangements and sprays, and visiting with everyone while out there. 05/30/2023 11:00 PM

Mothers
Mothers
May is the month we celebrate a very select and specific group of women. To be a part of this elite community, one must be born with a very specialized ability: ovaries and a womb that are capable of conceiving and carrying a new human life to birth. The term “mother” applies equally to a biological woman who cannot conceive, but enters motherhood through fostering or adoption. Being a mother is often wonderfully rewarding and often diffi cult and painful. In Genesis, after the first man and woman disobeyed God, He told the woman, “You will bear children with painful effort.” God was referring not only the pain of childbirth, but the pain of mothering in a world that opposes and demeans life and godliness at every turn. 05/22/2023 11:00 PM

The 2023 State FFA Convention
Twenty-five Elk City FFA members attended the state convention. During the convention, 6 sessions were held in the BOK Arena. At the beginning of each session, chapter members got to witness a talent show and listen to 3 contestants at a time. After the talent show, chapter members then watched their FFA state officers conduct opening ceremonies with a laser light show. After the opening ceremonies, members then got to listen to multiple speakers, one of which was Jane Herlong (winner of the 1979 Miss South Carolina pageant). Another speaker was state superintendent Ryan Walters. Also during most of the sessions members were able to listen to candidates interview for state office and during some of the interviews delegates from different chapters were able to vote on the candidates. The state ffa choir also performed at each session held. After all of the events during the sessions were done, the state FFA officers did their closing ceremonies, ending that session. 05/22/2023 11:00 PM
