FFA ATTENDS NATIONAL FFA CONVENTION

The Markesan FFA chapter selected seven individuals to

attend the 87th annual National FFA Convention held in

Louisville, Kentucky. This year’s convention took place

Wednesday, October 29 thru Saturday, November 1. At this

convention, the seven members, Mercedes Schulz, Nayla

Schmeckpeper, Brittanie Fox, Buddy Barker, Levi Hagen,

Adam Oemig, and Blake Docter represented the Markesan

FFA.

Each member had the opportunity to explore future

agricultural career opportunities and attend different sessions

with inspirational keynote speakers. The group also visited

Louisville businesses and landmarks like the Louisville Slugger

factory and Churchill Downs. FFA members went to see a

country music concert and the World’s Toughest Rodeo. They

also visited and bonded with FFA members from other states,

dressed in their blue corduroy jackets, all the while appreciating

American agriculture and National FFA. There were about 60,000

FFA members and guests who attended this convention. This trip

was enjoyed by everyone.

THE DARK SIDE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY: INTERNET, CELL PHONE AND SOCIAL MEDIA

BY: Special Agent Eric Szatkowski

Markesan Middle School Gym, Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 6:00 p.m.

All parents with children that have computers, cell phones, or tablets need to attend this presentation!

While digital technology offers a world of communication, education, and entertainment options for our

youth, it also has a dark and dangerous side we must be aware of. This fast-paced presentation takes an in-

depth look into the latest trends in digital exploitation of children. Eric uses real-life case examples and gives

unabashed practical advice for anyone interested in the safety and well-being of our children while online or

using their cell/smart phones. Eric pulls-no-punches as he combines his investigative expertise with his own

personal experiences as a husband and father who protected his own two children as they grew up with digital

technology.

Attendees will learn techniques used by predators, the types of kids who are most vulnerable, and the link

between the growing victimization of children and the sexualized culture. Topics include the latest on

potential dangers of social networking sites like Facebook, as well as disturbing trends of sexting, cyber

bullying, and webcam exploitation. Eric also discusses the risks of popular music and video file sharing

programs, smart phones apps like Snap Chat, geo-tagging, and online gaming.

Eric also provides a live, eye-opening demonstration of some troubling sites our kids can be exposed to

online or on their phones.

The audience will be challenged to be good parents instead of “best friends” to their children. Eric also

explains how filters and monitoring software should be used to support their primary mission of raising kids in

a safe, caring, AND high-tech environment.

(Due to the nature of this material, and live Internet demonstrations, it is for ADULTS only.)

ART FIELD TRIP TO KOHLER

Sixty of our Markesan High School art students traveled to Kohler, WI to tour the

Kohler factory and Design Center. The students are from Mrs. Jayne Dillie’s five

ceramics classes, one studio class and Mr. Rodney Symons’ Photoshop class.

Tours were given through the foundry portion of the

company showing how faucets and metal plumbing parts

are made and finished. The ceramics portion of the tour

explained the creation of sinks, toilets, etc. from liquid

clay through to the glazed finished product. The Design

Center was interesting for everyone to see the many

different styles of bathrooms, showers and kitchen

displays. It was an educational and informational

art field trip for our students.
