NORTHWOOD—Recently members of the “Much-to-Do” FFA Chapter from Coe-Brown Northwood Academy along with advisors Sarah Ward and Charles Whitten, attended the 78th Granite State FFA Convention, held at the Mt. Washington Hotel and Conference Center.

Its education mission states that agricultural education prepares students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the global agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources systems.
