Congratulations to our former FFA Advisor, Mr. Irv Meier. Mr. Meier was inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame at the Iowa State Fair today. Mr. Meier’s history of working with students dates back a few decades, and even though he has retired from teaching full time, you can still find him working with students almost on a daily basis. He has produced many State Champion CDE Teams and continues to work with a 4-H group judging livestock. Congratulations, Mr. Meier on this achievement, you are certainly deserving of this honor. Please help us to congratulate, Mr. Irv Meier on his induction into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame! #WeAreWapello #WapelloTribePride
