Firebaugh FFA Honorary Members
This year Firebaugh FFA has chosen individuals who have shown true leadership and dedication to our program. Mr. and Mrs. Ron and Loree Demmers, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert and Carol Coelho, Mr. Danny Barragan and Mr. Russell Freitas received the Honorary Degree Membership at our 2016 Spring Awards Banquet.
Mr. and Mrs. Ron and Loree Demmers
These two individuals both serve as FFA Booster Officers, with Ron being the President and Loree being the Secretary. They have been instrumental in helping develop and raise over $50,000 for the FFA Boosters in the last two years. The company they run D&D Designs, which prints t-shirts, is always helping make shirts for the majority of events Firebaugh FFA holds. Their continued support and guidance is how the Firebaugh FFA continues to be successful.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert and Carol Coelho
The Coelho's hold a place in the heart of this community for many reasons, but most importantly because of the dynamic way they always support. Mrs. Coelho is the high school secretary and also places events the agriculture department has on the school marque sign and is the first to buy any tickets supporting the department. Gilbert is a long time school board member and is the helping hand in the orchard. He single-handedly has kept the orchard running. Without his support the orchard would not be the thriving entity it is.
Mr. Danny Barragan
Danny is the Director of the MOT department for the Firebaugh-Las Deltas Unified School District. He is always asking the agriculture department what they need and has helped complete endless projects. This year he specifically helped obtain a rabbit and poultry facility and is now working to get them installed. Without his support the projects we have would never get completed.
Mr. Russell Freitas
Superintendent Freitas is without a doubt one of the most giving and student centered superintendents. He has attended both the State and National FFA Conventions and is a avid supporter of the program. He has helped purchase equipment the agriculture department needs and continues to support the program. It was an honor to be able to award him the Honorary Chapter Degree for his continued hard work and effort.
These individuals support and dedication is why the Firebaugh FFA Chapter has seen many of its recent successes. They are always there to lend a helping hand in any way possible.
