Canton Public Schools

Next up! Who’s stationed by the ear of corn?.. • Conner Martin! 🌽 • My name is Conner Martin I am your 25-26 Canton FFA Secretary. My duty is maintaining records for our chapter’s meetings , FFA activities, and the attendance of members. My favorite song is Find Your People by Drew Holcomb. 🌟 • Outside of the FFA, I also participate in esports and art. In the FFA I have a sheep SAE, I livestock judge, and I also weld. 🧑🏻‍🏭 • The most valuable FFA experiences to me are learning new leadership skills and meeting new people. These, in my personal experience, are what makes me love being in the FFA the most. 🧩 • After high school, I want to go to Northwestern Oklahoma State University, and major in AG education. I would like to eventually be an FFA advisor and teach. ✏️ • This year I am looking forward to all the FFA activities, such as the State Fair crops competition, all of the livestock shows, and different leadership events such as Lead360. 🐑 • The advice I would give to the younger FFA members, is to always do the thing you don’t wanna do, or the thing that scares you the most. Push yourself! You never know, that might end up being your new favorite activity to do. Most importantly, pay attention to your FFA advisors, they are the best leaders. 🏆 Written by: 25-26 Canton FFA Vice President Sisaly Hepner

🎙️Next, who’s stationed by the plow?…🎙️ Sisaly Hepner! • Hey y’all! This is Sisaly Hepner serving as your 25-26 Canton FFA Vice president! My duties are assisting the President and coordinating our chapter, while also being able to take over for the president when needed. This is my 2nd year to be in office and i’ll be a Junior! Currently, my favorite song is Let Em’ Talk by Ty Meyers! 🖋️ • Other things I do outside of the FFA are Stuco as the current Reporter, FCA in which I was the 24-25 Vice President, NHS as Reporter, Academic Team, NHD, and Choir. 📸 • The most valuable FFA experience for me was definitely Alumni Camp. 2024 was my first year ever attending, and ever since i’ve been passionate in the FFA like no other. Alumni Camp taught me the true importance in team work and how important it is to bond with your team to able to accomplish goals. If there’s one FFA event a FFA member should have to go to, i’ll always say Alumni Camp! ☀️ • My plans after high school is to run in State FFA office, and attend OSU for pre-veterinary medicine or Ag Com. 🤠 • The thing I look forward to the most is the challenges we’ll face this year as a team, and how we’ll cooperate during the good and hard times. My goal is to build our team up with unconditional support and love, but also discipline. 🫂 • As famous country artist Cody Johnson quotes in his song “Til You Can’t”, “If you got a chance- take it. Take it while you’ve got the chance.” I encourage every younger FFA member to just leap right in! Take all the opportunities you can that are handed to you and work hard in it. Don’t be afraid, you’ll love it on the Blue and Gold side. ⚡️ Thank you guys for reading through, I cannot wait to serve another year in this amazing chapter! 🫶🏻 Written by: 25-26 Canton FFA Vice President Sisaly Hepner
