Jaelynn Schauman is a junior at Sleepy Eye Public and has been involved in FFA for five years. Jaelynn joined FFA because she heard about the exciting activities and events she could be a part of and she was looking forward to being a part of a fun and great organization. She is the Chapter Officer Team Reporter this year and enjoys taking pictures during events and helping out with the chapter’s Instagram social media.

The achievements Jaelynn is most proud of earning are getting 4th Pace Team at State for Milk Quality, the Chapter Top Scholar Award, and the Phoenix Award.
