Activities and extracurriculars and how they could benefit you

Here at Okeechobee High School, there are lots of clubs programs, and sports that you could pick up. You could have something to do and turn into your personal hobbies if your hobby were to be a car hobbyist maybe you would be interested in the auto mechanics course here at the high school. Another great hobby is gardening and raising animals at the High School there is a club for gardeners. FFA is a great club that you could go and take up I learned about a former FFA member named Artha Jonassaint who became a John Deere intern and was a formal national officer. I was lucky enough to meet her and she gave us a talk and tried to encourage us to join FFA she is a very successful person whos personal agricultural hobbies took her very far. They chose to pursue their agricultural goals thanks to her FFA advisor at yearling middle school and her mother .

“I’d like to reconnect people of marginalized identities, particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latino populations, with agriculture,” Jonassaint said.
