Record-Shattering $726K Raised at 55th Klein ISD FFA Livestock & Project Show
Klein ISD

Klein, TX- The 55th Annual Klein ISD FFA Livestock and Project Show, held from February 6 to 10, 2024, showcased the achievements of 560 Agriscience Pathway students and FFA exhibitors.

The community support for the event was truly commendable, with numerous new buyers participating in the auction. A remarkable achievement was breaking 11 top sales records during the 2024 event, which featured 955 student projects.

"Witnessing our community come together once again to support our students at the 55th Annual FFA Livestock and Project Show was heartwarming,” Superintendent Dr. Jenny McGown said. “We are so grateful for the continued commitment of our teachers, volunteers, parents, buyers, and sponsors in making this event a resounding success for our kids."

Notably, there was a significant 44% increase in auction sales, with proceeds reaching a record-breaking $412,600. The total sales surpassed historical records, reaching an impressive $726,003. These funds from the auction will be directed back to the students, either in the form of college scholarships or to be reinvested in their projects for the upcoming school year.

“Agriscience students have the opportunity to participate in the co-curricular National FFA organization, which makes classroom instruction from the multiple Klein ISD Ag pathways come to life through hands-on experiential learning,” Director of Career and Technical Education Deborah Bronner-Westerduin said. “The numerous projects exhibited in the 15 Klein ISD shows during this week-long event are a testament to that. The majority of these projects have involved months of tireless hours and dedication on the part of students, all masterfully balanced while managing rigorous academics and, in the case of many, multiple other school-related activities. We couldn't be prouder of all the students who participated in this year's show!”

Beyond the academic aspects, the students also benefited from their involvement in the National FFA Organization. Participation in the FFA not only provided a platform for acquiring rigorous academic content through the Agriscience curriculum but also played a pivotal role in fostering premier leadership skills, facilitating personal growth, and nurturing the foundation for college and career success among the students.

“From the diligent efforts of our students and their families to the unwavering support of our community sponsors and volunteers, every aspect of our livestock show was a true testament to the dedication and passion of our FFA Klein Family,” Career & Technical Education Coordinator Amanda Simmons said. “Congratulations to the incredible Agriscience teachers and to our amazing Career & Technical Education team for yet another successful show.”

We are so proud of our students and teachers and thankful for such a supportive Klein ISD community!
