In amongst the craziness of running all over Texas for CDEs, our students got to take a little breather and make a trip right next door, over to lowa Park, for our Wichita District Convention, Degree Check, and Speaking Contest! We got to celebrate our success this past year by collecting our banners that we have accumulated throughout this semester! Audrey Graham and Lillian Klein also represented our chapter by running for District office. After going through the selection process, Audrey secured the District Vice President spot and Lillian sealed the deal by getting the District Secretary! Madelynn Hopkins also was heavily involved throughout District Convention today, securing a 2nd place finish to advance to Area in Soil Stewardship Speaking, placing 3rd in Extemporaneous Speaking, and putting up some competitive competition by running for an Area office position!
