Testimonials
Fort Bend County School Districts
On behalf of the students, staff and Board of Trustees of the Fort Bend
Independent School District, please accept my sincerest appreciation for the
dedicated leaders of the Fort Bend County Fair Association who supports Fort
Bend ISD students through the numerous fair and educational programs.
As we consider the many benefits provided through co-curricular programs,
such as leadership development and team building, we thank you for
supporting our students as they exhibit their animals, participate in
contests and competitions, and receive scholarships for Texas colleges and
universities. We are grateful for the resources and volunteer hours provided
by our community, as we all work together to forge a bright and promising
future for our children.
We encourage you to continue to support youth education as you have for more
than seven decades. Your continued support means a great deal to our
students, and we thank you.

Lamar Consolidated Independent School District
“Extracurricular programs such as FFA promote and enhance the academic
achievements of our students in Lamar CISD. Participation in extracurricular
programs is a key element in guiding students to achieve their full
potential in future social, economic and educational opportunities. Through
involvement in FFA programs, students are encouraged to participate, learn,
practice, compete and be the best they can be. The Fort Bend County Fair
Association student programs support and assist students in the complicated
process of becoming a contributing member of our community. As a former FFA
member, I know that involvement with county fair shows and competition helps
students develop individual skills, winning attitudes, good sportsmanship
and character attributes that are valuable throughout their lives.”
“We give our whole-hearted thanks to the leaders of the Fort Bend County
Fair Association for their dedication and donation of personal time to
support the many fair programs that involve LCISD students. The Fort Bend
County Fair Association scholarships provide an avenue for the achievement
of higher educational goals. Without these scholarship dollars, college
funding is not possible for many of our students.”

Superintendent

Stafford Municipal School
Stafford Municipal School district is grateful to be a part of the Fort Bend
County Fair Association's Annual Fair. Our students' participation in the
many offerings of the County Fair serves as valuable lessons outside the
typical classroom settings. SMSD's FFA program is successful due in no small
part to the members' involvement in the Fort Bend County Fair.
As with all endeavors and opportunities we offer our students, SMSD wants
all students to gain life-long and sustaining skills that will enable them
to become an active, participating member of our society.
Thank you, Fort Bend County Fair Association, for providing these skills
through your program.
