Due to the unexpected rain, I moved the plants back inside of the larger of the two gray trailers in the plant pickup area. I am so excited to see rain, but tired of moving boxes. So, the plants will stay on the trailer even if the rain stops.

Please have your students prepared to get muddy and have a way to keep their scantrons dry (gallon zip lock bags work well). If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Attached are the results of the Area 1 Tractor Driving CDE held yesterday at John's Mountain Farm. I would like to thank Mr. Henry and Ray Barton for allowing us to use their property and facilities.

Registration is open for the Area 1 and 2 ATE CDE. This year's area will focus on ENR. The ATE CDE page on the website has a CDE Description sheet. Please look that over. It has information about the test and ways to help prepare your students. We have also made changes to the Tool ID sheet, so please look that over as well.
The North Region Rally begins tomorrow and the camp still has not received all medical and lodging forms. While I understand it can be difficult getting information from kids/parents, we asked that all forms be turned in no later than last Friday (8/30). Our plan was to honor as many lodging requests as possible (which the camp has worked hard to do) and to send the lodging lists out before registration, but that will not be possible. I apologize if this impacts those of you who submitted everything on time. To make registration run smoothly, please have all student medication

Hopefully most of you have settled into the swing of the new school year. Here are the answers to a few questions that have come up about Rally and a reminder about registration. Please read all of the information carefully and let me know if you have any additional questions.
*When/How do I register?* Registration will open on August 22 and close on August 23rd. Registration will be through your GA Ag Ed account on the website, georgiaffa.org. New teachers, please make sure that you are familiar with where event registration can be located on the website.
This is an update on registration for the Tractor driving CDE for this year. Below are the dates, times, and locations for each event, the schools registered as of 8/15, and schools that indicated a t-shirt purchase. I will send invoices for shirts on 8/24 which is the closing date for shirts to be ordered. Registration will close on 8/30. Each course will be set ready to drive by 2:30 on the day of the event.
Based on the survey that I sent out earlier, more than 80% of you would prefer to start our virtual region meeting at 4:00 PM. We will therefore hold our meeting on Tuesday, August 27th at 4, via Zoom. I will send out a Zoom link for the meeting on Monday, August 26th.
My school day does not end until 4:15. It’s been closer to 4:30 when they take our bus riders, but I expect that to improve a little before the meeting.
Attached you will find the Proof of the 24-25 Tractor Driving CDE T Shirt.
Shirts are $12 each and will be available for pick up on the day of your area event. Shirts are also open to any FFA member that wishes to purchase one, not just the student competing in the CDE. Checks should be made payable to North Region FFA.
Good Morning, With the "makeover" our website has undergone this summer, our (region staff) ability to upload items to the North Region portion of the website has not been restored. As soon as it is, I will upload the printable calendar there. Until then, I have attached the pdf to this email.

Good morning!
Included and attached to this email you will find all of the details that you need related to Region Rally. *When: Area 1, September 5th and 6th* * Area 2, September 6th and 7th* The agenda is attached, but we will follow a very similar schedule as last year.
As I mentioned at our teacher meeting at GVATA, our August teacher meeting will be held virtually. In an attempt to keep work related activities within the confines of the working day as much as possible, I am asking you to provide me with feedback as to your preferred start time for the meeting. Please keep in mind that we have a large number of schools in the region with a variety of start and end times, and so it will be impossible to accommodate everyone's preference.
Prevention: Keep weeds (seed, rhizomes, tubers, etc.) out of the greenhouse by using sterile media, introducing only "clean" plant materials, and controlling the weeds outside of the greenhouse. Where possible, *screen vents and other openings* to limit the introduction of windblown seed as well as flying pests. Again - Clorox can be your best weapon! Use a 1:10 solution to spray down floors, growing benches, drip containers in and wipe propagation tools. Clorox is a very corrosive product. Zerotol is another option available from vendors like Griffin Greenhouse Supplies and BWI.
This is just a basic help guide for the average school grower, I realize some of you are much more extensive with your greenhouse and if you have other specific questions, please let me know.
*Bedding plants/ annuals* (fall) ordered from North Region come 288 flats to a plug tray. If you plant these in Jumbo 606s you will get about 8 flats per plug tray. These are usually sold 100 per case. You will also need the web flats (the trays that hold the insert). Another alternative is planting those in 1801 which will give you 18 individual plants
Please see the attached participation spreadsheet for the 2023-2024 school year. The information on the spreadsheet is used to calculate our Chapter of the Year results. You will see that there is a lot of data here, so there is a possibility that an error was made as information was transferred into the sheet. Please let me know if you see any errors or if you have any questions.
As we gear up for the 2024-2025 school year, it is time to update our teacher information page. Please click on the link below and complete the form by *August 1. *We utilize this information all school year and it is essential that we have you and your school's most up-to-date information.

Attached is the list of Area Officer Applicants that have made it through round one and will be invited to attend the Area Banquets, take the Area Officer written test, deliver a one minute speech, and be voted on as a candidate for Area Officer. The list is in alphabetical order and does not indicate the rank of the application.
After 17 emails, a phone call, and a text, it appears we might need to re-open registration. The caterer is good with us calling him back first thing in the morning. So, I will "un-submit" everyone's registration which will give you the opportunity to go in and adjust your numbers if you need to. This will not cancel your registration, it just gives you the option to edit your registration.

For time's sake, here are the 89 manuscripts we have received. If your student is missing, please let me know asap. I will be sending out a final registration list for all speaking events (creed, extemp, and prepared) later today.
Registration for the preliminary speaking events closes Monday 2/12/24. This includes Creed, Extemporaneous, Junior and Senior Prepared Public Speaking. It is important that we have accurate information at that point, as we need to work with our host schools on securing enough speaking rooms and judges with each event.
Be sure to refer to the CDE Guidelines, especially for the Prepared Speaking events where manuscripts are involved.

Here's what the computer spit out for us. All north region invoices are in this one document. You should be able to just choose the page your invoice is on and print just that one page. I felt the need to leave it in MS Word to give you the ability to make any adjustments necessary for your bookkeeper to process the invoice (without having to go back and forth with me to edit it). If you have questions, or something is an apparent error, please let me know and we'll get it corrected.
