sold carnations and Crush cans to students who wanted to buy presents for
Valentine’s Day.
All the money received from the gifts went directly to the Lindsey Friederich
fund.
“I’m very excited and also a little nervous about
going to State,” said Neely. “To prepare for State contest I’m
going to say the creed over and over and practice a lot.”
Works judged for the chapter service project, while Herder was a timer. Hauser
and Johnston attended to encourage their teammates and watch participants
give their projects in front of the judges.
“I enjoy FCCLA because it gives us a chance to grow in speaking in front
of large groups, and because it will help us when we choose a college and
show that we were active during high school,” said Johnston. “I
will defiantly be joining FCCLA next year because I plan to get involved.”
The FCCLA team is gearing up for the State competition which will take place
in Wichita in April.
