The FFA organization of the Washington County Career Center participated in a Soil Judging contest. During the recent soil judging, Torrance Dennis, son of Rodney and Brenda Dennis of Belpre, earned Top Individual, Second Place Urban Division. Dennis is a senior in the Career Center Heavy Equipment & Natural Resources program.

This contest takes place yearly at high schools and colleges across the United States. In addition to collecting various soil samples, the students are responsible to have knowledge of soil properties and features throughout the soil profile. Students must identify the color, texture, consistency, structure, and properties of each soil horizon. They make interpretations about its classification, parent materials, and its suitability for different land uses along with its water holding properties.

The FFA organization at the Career Center is comprised of students from the Heavy Equipment & Natural Resources program and the Landscape & Turf Management program. The organization expands opportunities for classroom instruction to be applied to hands-on opportunities, and to further reinforce curriculum-enhancing programs within the community. The soil judging contest is sponsored by the Washington Soil and Water Conservation District.

An appropriate activity for Columbus Day, a group of Washington County Career Center Ambassador students along with Superintendent Roger Bartunek accepted a United States flag and an Ohio flag donated by Representative Andy Thompson.

Thompson spoke to the students about the history and the significance of the United States flag. With discussion about the importance of civic duty, Thompson also encouraged the students to become active volunteers and good citizens in their communities.

As the new, much needed replacement flags were ascended in the ceremonies manner, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Electricity student, Joel Cox. Other students who participated were Caitlyn Markey and Eddie Kimbrough, both students in the Sports Medicine and Exercise Science program along with Maggie Mamo and Jessica Blaker, students in the Cosmetology program at the Career Center.

The ceremony was finalized by Representative Thompson inviting Career Center students to visit the Capitol in Columbus where he would graciously serve as their host.
