ADVISOR: Mrs. Straw
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a national Career and Technical Student Organization that provides personal growth, leadership development, and career preparation opportunities for students in Family and Consumer Sciences education. FCCLA is the Ultimate Leadership Experience. We will be holding community events and fundraisers this year. We will also be competing in STAR Events in February. Looking forward to a productive year with leadership opportunities for everyone. I have three officers attending the Fall Leadership Conference to develop leadership skills and guide our chapter in the ultimate leadership experience.

2018 NATIONAL PROGRAMS IN ACTION
Career Connections 2019-2020
Students researched careers in the fashion and textiles industry. They then learned about various types of yarn and fabric. Finally the students learned how to knit their own stocking hat. They also learned how to hand sew as well as how to use a sewing machine. Each student knitted their own hat or headband and sewed their own pair of pj pants.
Families First 2019-2020
Respect others, respect yourself. The purpose of this program is to build students’ understanding of how respect—for oneself and for others—is part of the foundation for healthy behaviors and healthy relationships. These skills will serve them in all relationships, and in particular could help prevent emotional or physical abuse from happening in their relationships. Additionally, having strong communication skills will help students to navigate difficult situations, such as peer pressure or family conflicts. Through communication that family members are able to resolve the unavoidable problems that arise in all families.
Financial Fitness 2019-2020
Students are participating in the Stock Market Game (SMG), students work together to create and manage a virtual investment portfolio of real world stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Each team is responsible for
researching and evaluating potential investments. Team members must also effectively come together on cooperative decisions on whether to buy, sell, or hold the stocks, funds, and bonds in the portfolio they have created.
Community Service 2019-2020
Our local shelter is over run with puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, and even a pig. Each of these animals has either been abandoned, surrendered, or dumped around our rural area. We had seen posts about the shelter being full so we visited the animals there. Upon talking to the representative in charge, we decided to do a adoption booth. There was a lot of things we had to find, like a canopy, pins, water bins, and all the flyers too. The results were great and lots of animals found their forever homes. Our shelter is out of the way and does not get any foot traffic. We knew they needed help, so we decided to step in and lend a hand. We held an adoption booth at Rodeo Days and adopted out 4 dogs 10 kittens!
Student Body 2019-2020
Through social emotional learning, students learn to better understand and navigate their thoughts and feelings, set goals, work and empathize with others, build friendships, and overcome obstacles. To develop social emotional learning. The program we decided to use was based on yoga. So not only were we using our minds and emotions to develop and learn we were also using yoga to hit the five core competences of SEL. We learned about sounding breath, ocean breath, awakening gratitude, and the tree pose!
FACTS 2019-2020
Students were invited to work with Kasinger Basin Regional Planing Commission to help create a walk ability project. This project is based in the need to create a safe walking trail in our town. One of our chapter members, Gwen Gilliam, attended a conference on the basis of this program and brought back information to get us started. We worked with our highway dept to mark off rectangles on the desired road and path then our chapter painted murals based on our town history and school to help guide walkers on a safer path through our town. This project also helps drivers to slow down and notice pedestrians around them. This is an ongoing project that our chapter will continue to work on for the next year.
STOP the Violence 2019-2020
Our concern is that people are not aware of what postpartum depression is. Our next concern is that people do not understand the effect postpartum depression can have on the mother, the child and the child’s development. Our goal is to inform and educate our peers about postpartum depression and the effects it has on a child’s development. We prepared a presentation to give to the Junior High School Health, Parenting, and High School Health classes. Then, we made a Kahoot so that we could record and evaluate how effective our information would be. We also created a bulletin board outside our classroom with postpartum depression information.
