The Mission Valley FFA chapter was recognized for earning first place in the Marketing Plan Career Development Event (CDE) during the 90th Kansas FFA State Convention, May 30–June 1, 2018, on the Kansas State University campus.

The Marketing Plan CDE is designed to assist students with developing practical skills in the marketing process through the development and presentation of a marketing plan. Students research and present a marketing plan for an agricultural product, supply, or service.

Mission Valley FFA won first place with their team and they presented the results of research that provides a reasonable and logical solution to a marketing problem. Team members on the first place team consisted of Elizabeth Anderson, Sarah Tennison, and Brogan Area.

As a state winner, the first-place Mission Valley team is eligible to represent the Kansas FFA Association in the Marketing Plan CDE at the fall 2018 National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
