Congratulations to Carter Mazerolle, a junior at Easton High School, for being named FFA Member of the Month in January.
If you ask the FFA advisor he will tell you that Carter is the “go-to person” if you need to get something done. A great example is the float his chapter made for the light parade. As chapter president, he has been reliable for his entire group. His dedication to the FFA can been seen in everything he does! Congratulations to Carter Mazerolle, state FFA Member of the Month.
