Righetti FFA
New Members, Special Gifts
Submitted by Bianca Calderon, Chapter Reporter
As the school year kicked off so did the start of a new branch in the Righetti FFA
Chapter. The collaboration for Righetti Special Olympics and FFA, the new branch
is Righetti FFA Special Goats Program. This program is created to give kids with
special needs the chance to venture out of their comfort zones and get the chance
to be involved in the FFA program. Each kid is partnered up with two FFA members
and for four months are given a market goat to care for and raise until the local
county fair begins. The program is designed to show that these kids are no different
than anyone else, nor do their needs set them back in any way. The students of this
Special Goats Program have bonded the Righetti chapter more than any field day
or conference ever could. These kids give this chapter and our county fair a unique
touch to be proud of!
