FFA in SAE at ILHS

Students in the Future Farmers of America class at Indian Lake High School recently participated in a Supervised Agricultural Experience.

Quoted from the National FFA Organization, "A Supervised Agricultural Experience program (SAE) is a key component of the agricultural education. While working on an SAE project, students learn to apply the concepts and principles taught in their agriculture classes to real-world problems and scenarios." The organization goes on to explain that a student selects a project based on interest in one of the following four areas - exploratory, research/experimentation, ownership/entrepreneurship or placement.

The exploratory/placement project encouraged the students of ILHS to harvest deer during gun and bow season and attend the local Hunter Safety Course. The course educated the students about Ohio's wildlife and the ever increasing deer population.
