Area III FFA

Howdy Area III! My name is Laynie Hatchett, from the Travis FFA Chapter and Southwest District, and I am excited to announce that there are only 5 MORE DAYS until ALC! What a blessing it is to be able to serve you all this year. I cannot wait to meet all of you and make connections that will last forever!

In FFA, I’ve competed in the Senior Ag Skills and Creed Speaking for LDEs, as well as the Floriculture CDE. I also participate in SDEs, where I’ve competed under Soil and Water Stewardship and Senior Prepared Plant Science. My SAEs include raising market sheep, broilers, and a steer, as well as hydroponic floriculture experiments. There are SO many opportunities in FFA to explore, and I have no doubt that each of you will be able to find your home.

Outside of FFA, I am a proud NHS member and participate in AMBUSH, my school’s freshman orientation program! I also formerly competed under the Texas Gulf Coast Figure Skating Club, which still holds a special place in my heart. I love spending time with my friends, family, going to church, and finding somewhere to eat!

Area III has done so much for me, and I cannot wait to make our Area the same way. This Area is my home,  and I will do my best to make sure that every one of you will feel the same way. Thank you, Area III for believing in me and allowing me to serve you this year!!

Hey Area III!
My name is Bella Matthews, and I am honored to serve as one of your Area III Vice Presidents this year. I’m from the Cinco Ranch FFA chapter in the Northwest District, and I am excited to announce that we have 7 days until ALC!

Within FFA, I compete in Senior Chapter Conducting, Senior Quiz, and Milk Quality, and I also raise and show goats. One of the things I care about most is helping every member find where they belong, and I cannot wait to learn more about each of you and your passions.

Outside of FFA, I love spending time with family and friends, taking walks outdoors, serving the 7th-grade girls’ small group at my church, and learning more about the Lord every day. I am also involved in National Charity League alongside my mom and am a member of National Honor Society.

Words cannot fully express how grateful I am for the opportunity to serve Area III. My heart is full of excitement for the year ahead, and I cannot wait to see all that we accomplish together!
