FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUBREY, TX – November 7, 2025 Aubrey FFA Showcases Leadership Skills at Competitive District V LDE Students Compete Across Public Speaking and Team Events Against 15 Local Chapters. AUBREY, TX — Aubrey FFA today participated in the annual District V Leadership Development Events (LDE) at Ponder High School, fielding several teams and individual competitors. The intensive competition saw Aubrey students test their skills against members from the 15 highly competitive chapters within the District V area. Leadership Development Events are rigorous contests that evaluate students’ public speaking abilities, decision-making capabilities, and knowledge of agricultural issues and parliamentary procedure. These events are integral to the FFA mission, preparing students to be effective communicators and leaders in their communities and future careers. "Our students have put in countless hours preparing for these LDEs, which are essentially the 'varsity sport' of soft skills," said Steve Seale. "Competing against 15 excellent chapters proves the strength of our district, and regardless of the outcome, the confidence and poise our members gain is invaluable." Aubrey FFA saw strong performances across the contest categories. The chapter is proud to announce the following results: Senior Spanish Creed: Jaqueline Martinez Morales Senior Ag Skills Demonstration: London Gravely, Easton Strickland and Naomi Welch Greenhand Ag Skills Demonstration: Prezley Gage, Kinlee Roundy and Jenna Welborn Senior Chapter Conducting: Angel Baer, Lexi Gravely, Sam Morgado, Brandi Tovar, Alyssa Waddell, Brandan Waddell, Naomi Welch and Evan Wilkinson Public Relations: Lexi Gravely, Ariana Martinez Morales, Jaqueline Martinez Morales and Alyssa Waddell Agricultural Issues Forum: Addi Appleby, Carmela Castiglione, Grace Collins, Ariana Wensel and Elliott Wilkinson Senior Ag Quiz: Angel Baer, Carmela Castiglione,London Gravely and Ariana Martinez Morales Greenhand Quiz: Anastasia Alatzas, Brady Cassity and Tess Gore Job Interview: Sloan Lomas Radio Broadcasting: Brady Cassity, Ashlynn Navarro and Sawyer Noles Senior Creed Speaking: Zoe Fikes

Aubrey ISD administrators, faculty and several fine arts students gathered in the auditorium at Aubrey High School today for a State Band Watch Party to cheer on the Aubrey High School Chaparral Band as they competed in San Antonio!

What defines it is growth, teamwork, and heart—and our Chaparral Band showed all three every step of the way. Congratulations on an amazing season and thank you for representing our Chaparral Family so well!!”
