July 6-9th, Mountain Heritage’s FFA officer team enjoyed officer retreat in Gatlinburg TN. They grew together to make a team by planning the year ahead, playing team building games, learning to face obstacles like escape rooms, cooking together, and most importantly devoted together. Each and every one of us enjoyed being able to open up, laugh, and become closer on this trip.
