She thinks it’s important for all children to be able to thrive in safe and healthy home environments. Audrey believes foster parents can fill that need for children whose parents aren’t able to provide for them.
Audrey would like to be Miss Dinuba because it will be an amazing opportunity to be a leader in her community. It would allow her to walk alongside her city to help it thrive and grow, enhance her leadership skills, and learn to balance her responsibilities. Being Miss Dinuba is also an amazing way for her to inspire and mentor the youth of her community.

On August 9th - 10th, chapter officers and a few members traveled to San Luis Obispo to participate in the San Joaquin Regional Leadership Boot Camp. The officer team, including Jocelyn Ochoa and Marlyn Carbajal, were challenged both physically and mentally, to work together as a team to overcome various obstacles. The biggest take-a- way? There’s no “I” in team. Participants competed in the obstacle course, leadership reaction course, and competitive events competition, with the team placing 3rd. Through all of the activities, the officers
Karen’s platform is “Finish the Race.” She chose this platform because she’d like to find a way to encourage those who are not motivated to finish high school. As a member of student council and leadership, her goal is to inspire students to join a club, sport, or extra-curricular activity to become involved in. She believes this would make school a place they want to be.
Karen would like to be Miss Dinuba because
it has always been a dream of hers to have the opportunity to compete for the title. She has been inspired by prior Miss Dinubas and would like to be that positive influence for future generations. Karen would like to learn more about her community and strive to make Dinuba a better place.

The 2018-2019 school year will be a fantastic year for all FFA members, including the newly added middle school members who are enrolled in the Ag Discovery classes at Washington Intermediate, being taught by Mr. Roy Browne.

On behalf of the officer team, and members, we welcome this new school year full of promise, new opportunities, and fun to be had by all.
