As the school year came to an end, the Bowling Green FFA participated in many various activities. The chapter held its annual pancake breakfast, attended the District 1 CDEs, and held its May meeting.

Members participated in the last Career Development Events (CDEs) of the year.

The 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 officer teams hosted their annual pancake breakfast to show our appreciation of the teachers. The officers prepared pancakes, sausage, eggs, fruit, danishes, and drinks. The rest of the day, the officers served other FFA members in the classes. Biggby Coffee and Gary Dible donated coffee for the event.

The chapter helped host the 4th Grade Ag fest again this year. At this event, members brought in different animals to make a petting zoo for the 4th graders from Bowling Green City Schools, St. Aloysius School, St. Louis Catholic School, and BG Montessori School. This was held at the Wood County Fairgrounds in cooperation with the Wood County OSU Extension on May 15. Some of the animals that were included this year were pigs, cows, chickens, goats, a horse, and sheep. Fourth graders learned all about agriculture including equipment, animals, and drones.

BG FFA ended the year with the May monthly meeting. They met the new officer team, enjoyed popsicles and ice cream for their refreshments, and played a game of kickball.
