Brookesmith Independent School District is starting an FFA chapter!

Megan Whited, who has moved from Washington State, is the FFA agricultural science teacher and FFA advisor. Brookesmith is a small school about 16 miles south of Brownwood. Mrs.Whited has big plans for opening up this FFA chapter. So far starting off this chapter, we have voted in officers: Elida Uvalde as President, Trey Toft as Vice President, Sharon Beth Bradley as Secretary, Kyler Cantu as Treasurer, Hayden Lambert as Assistant Treasurer, Bailey Mendieta as Reporter, Jerry Petross as Assistant Reporter, Brenden Been as Sentinel, and Gavin Burchett as Historian. We are very excited to get our chapter going with all these amazing officers. Our FFA chapter currently has thirty members and is still growing.

Brookesmith FFA will be having a Fresh Country CATALOG Fundraiser, which is full of meat entrees and amazing dessert options starting September 26 through October 14, 2022, and donations will be accepted as well. The fundraiser will help the FFA chapter provide travel opportunities for its members, as well as official dress clothing and FFA jackets for those in need.

On October 14, 2022 the FFA group will also sell brisket plates for $12 before and during the football game on the Brookesmith campus.  We will be taking donations of brisket, pickles, potatoes, chips, barbeque sauce, and drinks. Brookesmith will be playing Lohn at 7:30 P.M., and the brisket plates will be sold starting at 7:00 P.M. All funds raised will go towards the Brookesmith FFA Chapter.
