Congratulations to Genoa-Kingston FFA Parli Pro team! Back in December they competed, won and will be moving on to the district competition! Good luck!!
What is Parli Pro? Parliamentary procedure is a team leadership development event where the students run a mock meeting for 11 minutes, demonstrating their knowledge of parliamentary procedure. They have to make a motion, do discussions, attempt to dispose of the motion and then after the demonstration answer questions about the rules of parliamentary procedure. They also take a written exam!
Holiday festivities are in full swing! Today, KES first graders had a blast with creative activities like building marshmallow and toothpick structures. They also decorated delicious sugar cookies and crafted festive Christmas trees using waffle cones, frosting and sprinkles. What a fun way to kick off the final days before break!
