The Liberty-Benton Academic Boosters recently sponsored and coordinated the annual 3.5 Academic Awards Banquet to honor all high school students with a 3.5 accumulative grade point average and above. On March 20, 2017, 171 high school students were honored, presented with awards, and treated to a wonderful, catered dinner. The featured alumni speaker was Miss Ashlee Williman from the LBHS Class of 2005. Thank you to our generous donors who helped to cover the cost of the awards and to our Academic Booster members for making the evening possible.

National Recognition for the Liberty-Benton FFA
This past spring and summer the Liberty-Benton FFA members in conjunction with the Hancock Soil & Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Services performed a series of events that led to winning a National and a Northeast Region First Place award from the USDA.
Several classes in April of 2016 assisted with a field day for local preschoolers where they learned about soils, plants, and gardening. In conjunction with that, the Liberty-Benton FFA & the Liberty-Benton FFA Alumni Chapter volunteers helped to prepare, plant, maintain, and harvest the People’s Garden in the Findlay area, cultivating many different types of produce that was then donated to local area food shelters. Hundreds of pounds of food was grown and donated through this project.
On Tuesday, February 28th, several FFA representatives and alumni members attended the Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation District’s annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio, to accept the first place National and first place Northeast Region Earth Team Group Volunteer Awards. Congratulations to the Liberty-Benton FFA, and thank you to all of the volunteers that helped make this project possible!
