Italy ISD students have been working countless hours for 6+ months at the Italy ISD Agricultural Science facility for the Ellis County Youth Expo. Last week, Italy FFA had 20+ students participate in the Ellis County Youth Expo.

Not only did we have students participate in the livestock show, but we had students volunteer to be a part of the 3rd annual A Day in the Ring. Italy FFA was well represented by all students. We are super proud of all students accomplishments!
