Record-Breaking $667K Raised During 54th Klein ISD FFA Livestock & Project Show
KLEIN, Texas – Earlier this month, 596 Klein ISD Agriscience Pathway students and FFA exhibitors proudly showcased 1,007 projects at the 54th Annual Klein ISD FFA Livestock and Project Show on February 7-11, 2023.
Community support was incredible, with many new buyers participating in the auction and numerous records broken this year. The 2023 auction and total sales surpassed historical records totaling $667,178. This year’s auction was the largest on record, totaling $285,700.
“Each year, our FFA students and teachers blow me away with their tireless commitment and effort in preparation for their Livestock and Project Shows,” Klein ISD Superintendent Dr. Jenny McGown said. “The immense amount of hard work and dedication our FFA kids and their dedicated teachers devote for months prior to the auction is truly commendable. Klein ISD is so thankful to have such passionate teachers, supportive families, and a highly engaged community who believes in the importance of our Agriscience Pathway.”
In addition to gaining rigorous academic content through the Agriscience curriculum, participation in the National FFA Organization makes a positive and impactful difference in the lives of our students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, college and career success.
“Agriscience students have the opportunity to participate in the co-curricular National FFA organization, which makes classroom instruction from the multiple Klein ISD Ag pathways come to life through hands-on experiential learning,” Klein ISD Director of Career and Technical Education Deborah Bronner-Westerduin said. “The 1,007 projects exhibited during this week-long event are a testament to that. The majority of these projects have involved months of tireless hours and dedication on the part of students, all masterfully balanced while managing rigorous academics and, in the case of many, multiple other school-related activities. I couldn’t be prouder of all the students who participated in this year’s show!”
Congratulations to our FFA students and all who supported them on a successful and fantastic FFA Livestock and Project Show and Auction!
