FFA Students compete at Districts and Qualify for State
On Monday Feb 24th, the Falls City chapter traveled to Lincoln for the rescheduled District Welding Competition. The Career Academy hosted the event and the 60 degree weather was much nicer than the previously scheduled date with temps below zero!
The Falls City chapter competed against 19 other teams sending 7 students competing in 4 disciplines within the welding field. Each student had to take a test in their area and complete a weldment to demonstrate their skills in the area. In GMAW (MIG), Bowdy Jones finished in 4th place earning a purple ribbon while Brock Niedfeldt finished 12th earning a red ribbon. In OxyAcetylene Welding Blakely Sells was the District Champion finishing first earning Gold and purple ribbon with the best overall Weldment and Wyatt Coonce finished in 8th place earning a Blue Ribbon. In SMAW (ARC) Welding, Ethan Morris finished in 7th place earning a Blue ribbon and Thomas Godemann in 14th place earning a red ribbon. In GTAW (TIG) Derek Helmick was the District Champion finishing first earning Gold and a purple ribbon and had the best overall TIG weldment.
The team finished in Silver with the 2nd place Team in the welding competition qualifying Blakely Sells, Derek Helmik, Bowdy Jones, and Ethan Morris for the State welding competition at the beginning of April! Congratulations to those members and Mr. Miller!

International Angelman Syndrome Day occurs each year on February 15th. We are a little late due to the weather, but it is never too late to celebrate Tenley. She lights up everyone’s day at South School! We would like to thank Sheena, Jake, and W7 for organizing this, creating t-shirts, and donating the proceeds back to the South School Sped Department. As you can tell from the pictures, the kids loved making Tenley’s day while spreading awareness for Angelman Syndrome.💙
