The Granville FFA traveled to the 101st New York State FFA Convention on Thursday, and the weekend is packed with excitement!

On Thursday, we spent part of the day exploring the beauty of Niagara Falls before cheering on our students as they competed in: Conduct of Chapter Meeting, Farm & Agribusiness Management, and Agriscience Research

We had two teams and two individuals representing Granville FFA today, and we are so proud of all their hard work and dedication!

Students who were not competing had the opportunity to attend workshops with industry professionals — including making ice cream — and toured locations such as Canisius University and the Blueberry Treehouse Farm.

Today we’re officially kicking off convention with the first general session, and tomorrow brings even more competitions, leadership opportunities, and excitement.

Stay tuned for more updates from State Convention on the Granville FFA Facebook page.

An App called The Monkey is making the rounds among students in the region. It is a high-risk video chat platform connecting users, often children and teens, with strangers via random, short video calls.

Safety concerns include exposure to explicit content, predatory behavior, and lack of strict age verification, despite a 18+ policy. It is similar to Omegle, often used for quick, anonymous interactions and "pranks".
