Recognition Banquet
Our 2024-25 Leadership Chippewa Falls program wrapped up with a recognition banquet, highlighting each participant as well as this year's group projects! We can't wait to see where these individuals go as our next generation of leaders. Thank you to sponsoring businesses for allowing these professionals to take time away from work to learn, grow, and make impacts throughout our community.
   


Schools2Skills - Agriculture
This month, our Schools2Skills program took middle school students into the field of Agriculture, learning about local career opportunities right here in our community. The day started at AMPI where students learned the process of how cheese is made and distributed. Next, the group headed to Rooney Grain where they weighed in as a group on the truck scale, saw various farming equipment, and learned about grain storage and movement and careers that support these efforts. From there the group visited Rooney Angus Ranch and Ranch Brand Meat Co. where they viewed animals being raised, and learned how fresh products impact our local food supply and how they market locally. Last stop was Chi-Hi Ag Department learning about class options and how that prepares them for future careers in Agriculture!
