On Thursday, October 31, five Ada FFA members competed in the Sub-District Job Interview Contest at Spencerville High School. The members that competed included Aidra Preston, Cayden Wise, Dailah Preston, Taylor Price, and Gavin Ridenour.
This was the first time the Ada chapter had all grade levels participating in this career development event (CDE). For the competition, they had to create a resume and cover letter, fill out a job application, conduct a personal interview and write a follow-up letter.
Aidra and Dailah Preston both placed second in their grade levels and will be moving on to districts on November 7.
