FCCLA, one of the newest clubs
to come to Southeast Polk, attended their state competition on March 30 and 31.
FCCLA stands for Family Careers
Community Leaders of America. Members take part in community service projects. After
members have completed the community service or an activity that brings the community
closer together he or she presents the project to a panel of judges.
Sophomore Kaitlin Brown competed in an event called chapter review at
their last competition.
“Brittany Ringler and I had to
take everything that the SEP chapter [has] done so far this year and put it
into a project,” said Brown. Six members competed in star events at their
recent competition. Kayla Keoouthai was one of those six students.
“Sheridan Stromley, McKayla
Birkenholtz and I did a star event project under the topic of life planning,”
said Keoouthai.
Brown and Ringler won a gold
award which is the highest place a member can get and they have a chance to attend
nationals in Washington D.C. Keoouthai, Stromley and Birkenholtz all got 8th
place and received a silver medal.
Being a part of FCCLA has a lot
of benefits other than just the satisfaction of helping out the community, such
as meeting new people. Anyone is welcome to join FCCLA- all a student has to do
is talk to the advisor, Mrs. Marasco, whose classroom is located in the
business hallway.
