FFA is agriculture-based, building things with metal and other materials.
Travioli’s role in his club is, “An Ag-mech, so I do most of the metal work and fabricating,” said Travioli.
When Shane found out he made top ten, he said “I was really happy that I got to experience this with the other FFA nominee, Camila.”
What Travioli looked forward to most was being in the top ten is, “Definitely the performance with all my boys, it’s not easy to perform in front of everyone, but they still did it for me, I’m really grateful for them.”
If Travioli could say why he should be voted for, he would say, “I’m friendly, I like being friends, and I like being friends to people.”

Travioli believes he represents his club well because he is really involved with baseball and other things, so people already know him a bit.
FFA advisor, Mr. Coon’s reaction to Travioli making the top ten was, “Thrilled, he’s been a quality person in our program since freshman year. He’s really active, his family comes from agriculture, so I think him representing the Ag department was really fitting.”
Mr. Coon believes he represents the club well because agriculture is not only about the pursuit of agriculture, but also about hard work and dedication, and he believes Travioli embodies that really well.
Mr. Coon believes everybody running is a great representative of our school, but believes it would be really special to represent ag and win.
Mr. Coon had one more thing to say, “I’m happy to be a Ranger, I love Mr. and Mrs. Ranger week, it reminds me that school spirit just brings us all back, and reminds us all that we’re one group as Rangers.”
