On Thursday, November 1^st, 8^th Grade Loganville Middle School FFA member Martina Woods competed in the Sub-Area 2 Creed Speaking Career Developing Event (CDE). The event was held at Athens Christian School in Athens, GA. Martina placed 3rd in her bracket and just missed advancing to the Area Competition.

Participants in the Creed Speaking CDE present their presentation of the FFA Creed before a panel of judges.  Once competitors presentations are finished, they answer questions directly related to the FFA Creed. The purpose of the FFA creed is to develop premier leadership and personal growth through public speaking. With this, students learn speaking skills and respect for the FFA program.

The FFA Creed competition is open to agriculture students grades 6-9 who are paid members of a chartered FFA chapter. The top two in each bracket are eligible for State and National levels of competition.
