On Friday November 12 the culinary essentials class helped put the FCCLA dinner together. Thank you for your help. Those who had dinner last night said it was delicious.
As many of you have seen the FCCLA officers put on a Mock accidents for the student body. They also had Officer Sheldon speak about distracted driving. We also had three teachers talk about accidents they were in Kelli Francis, Katie Jones, and Beth Luhman. The officers hope that the simulation will make their classmates and friends think twice while driving.
November 4-7 FCCLA members attended National Fall Conference in Washington DC. Joey, Kennedy, Brianna, and Ms Luhman attended workshops about Lead 4 Change, social media and many others. While there they visited the Library of Congress, Eisenhower Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, Fords Theater and many others. We rode the Metro and a Urber Ride, which was a first for some. We also walked over 75,000 steps. The girls found out Ms. Luhman is a picture taker, so really hard to narrow down to four.
FCCLA National Fall Conference members compete in Skill Demonstration Events, they can be online test or a video of a skill. We had 7 members participate in online test. Joey Hillocks in Consumer Math Level 3, Linzy Moseler Consumer Math, Kennedy Gibbs FCCLA Knowledge Level 2, Brianna Krause Interior Design Level 2, Kenidy Lister Interior Design Level 2,
Leslie Howell FCCLA Knowledge Level 2, and Lexi Vogt Consumer Math Level 2. We had two members receive top 3 in Nation. Lexi received 3rd Place and Kenidy L. received 1st in their categories. Congratulations to them and all those who participated.
