Savannah Cycholl, Author at National FFA Organization

Hello! My name is Savannah Cycholl and I am a junior at RCHS in Olney, Illinois, where I serve as one of the Olney FFA Chapter's Reporters. In addition, I am the IL Section 23 Treasurer, and a 2nd year FFA in the USA Reporter. In addition to all things agriculture, I also play volleyball, hangout with my friends, and am on student council. Finally, I love to cozy up with my two dogs, and some oreos, to watch my favorite movie!
