Last week FCCLA attended the State Conference. Three students competed in events and all three took home awards. Senior Jackson Farris won Bronze in Fashion Construction, Junior Kendra Hostettler earned Bronze in International Experience, and Freshman Jordyn earned Silver in Public Speaking. Our chapter was also recognized as a "Chapter 10 Service Project" for their community service projects. Next year's FCCLA State Conference will be April 9-11, 2025.
