Missouri FCCLA 2010 State Leadership Conference

The Points Contest for attending 2010 State Leadership Conference free is heating up.  Michelle just passed up Trevor for the top spot!!  A sure way to get to State Conference is to bypass the Points Contest and go to State STAR events!!! 

As you enjoy your Christmas Break, spend some time polishing your project and oral presentation in order to be the best it can be.

See you January 5th!

Missouri Legislative Shadowing

It's that time of year again to apply for Legislative Shadowing. 

Last year our current Chapter President Breann was priveleged to go and had a wonderful time! 

Legislative Shadowing is provided by our Missouri State FCCLA. 

Our State Advisor and State Staff procure a special grant that provides funding for this event.

It is held in Jefferson City February 23 and 24. 

The State FCCLA website has this to say:

Missouri FCCLA members in their junior or senior years of high school who have an interest in public policy, laws and its relation to families, careers and communities are encouraged to apply for a day of job shadowing in the Missouri General Assembly. Up to 50 FCCLA members may be chosen for this program. Applications are available through the state web site and due January 15. This program is funded through Missouri FCCLA membership dues and contributions from the Missouri Educators of Family and Consumer Sciences (MoEFACS).

Our local Chapter will take applications through December 15.  After that date a panel of teachers/administrators will peruse the apps and choose the 2 applicatants from our school.

So hurry and get the application and let's GO!!!

 

Oh I sure hope we can send representatives again this year.

A Grand CMN Drive

We just finished up our Pizza Party/Children's Miracle Network Fundraising Drive for the FCCLA National Service Project. 

Children's Miracle Network is close to my heart as my eldest was the CMN Champion for the San Diego Children's Hospital back in 1996. 

Our FCCLA members chose to do a Pizza Party Contest, the Advisory class at our high school that raised the most per student will win a Pizza Party on December 1st. Well...

I still haven't announced which Advisory class won, but will tomorrow.  Our students and staff really came through.  $730 was raised!  Another staff member chose to add the $20 to bring the total up to $750.  Then, at the suggestion of the FCCLA officers, our FCCLA members unanimously voted to use Chapter funds (raised for outings and housing for FCCLA trips) to add another $250 to make our Chapter donation an even cool Grand!!! 

I am so proud of my student members and leadership.  

You make me proud!
