The Black River FFA Chapter was honored to play a small part in the Black River High School Veterans Day program by creating the boutonnieres and corsages presented to our veterans and their guests during the assembly.
A special THANK YOU to Black River FFA alumna, Macey Davis, of The Potted Sage for generously volunteering her time, talents, and floral expertise to help our members create these special arrangements! We love seeing our FFA alumni give back and share their knowledge with the next generation!
Most importantly, to all of our veterans, THANK YOU for your service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. We are forever grateful for the freedoms you have helped protect! 🇺🇸
Happy Veterans Day!
A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Byers from The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical
Institute (ATI) for visiting our Ag Capstone and Work Placement class earlier this week.
Mrs. Byers introduced students to the opportunities available at Ohio State ATI and
encouraged them to start thinking about their future, exploring college and career
pathways, and planning for life after graduation.
Thank you for helping our students take the next step toward their futures!

Members had the chance to build leadership skills, set goals for the year, and make new friends from across Ohio. They participated in activities like Adventure Valley, leadership field games, and workshops led by the Ohio FFA State Officer Team.
During free time, students enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, fishing, archery, basketball, and of course, the group favorite—9-square!
We’re proud of our Greenhands for representing Black River FFA and can’t wait to see all they accomplish this year
Black River FFA enjoyed serving our community today by hosting a petting zoo at Buddy Fest! A special thank-you to Rylee and Caleb for bringing their own animals, Mrs. Dria for assisting, and all our members who attended and helped. Thank you to Mr. Skrant for allowing us to be part of your event! We appreciate your time and dedication to sharing agriculture with our community
Our students toured both facilities, learned about the work being done, and had the opportunity to talk with employees about what it takes to be prepared for the workforce, what the jobs look like, and the career opportunities and benefits available in these industries.
These experiences give our students a firsthand look at local career opportunities and help connect what they are learning in school to potential careers after graduation.
A special thank you to Grow Ashland and Ashland Area Economic Development for organizing this event and providing our students with this valuable opportunity to explore local careers and businesses. We also appreciate Simonson Construction and Barbasol for opening their doors and sharing their workplaces and career opportunities with our students.
High school memories can be filled with fun, laughter and a sense of belonging and
sometimes, it’s just something little that leaves the most lasting impact.
Black River High School wants to continue to make lasting memories for our students
and staff and would love some help from our amazing community. The goal is to build a
year-round treasure chest filled with incentives and rewards that can be used to create
special moments to celebrate Pirate Pride initiatives, student experiences, schoolwide
programs, and special projects.
Would you be willing to help us fill the BRHS Treasure Chest?
