Hemingford, Nebraska Members of the Nebraska association of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) will join more than 220,000 members in celebrating National FCCLA Week February 11-17, 2007. This year's theme is "LOL :) Live Out Loud!" During National FCCLA Week, members plan and carry out activities to address teen and societal concerns and show how Family and Consumer Sciences Education can help them achieve the ultimate leadership experience.
Hemingford High School FCCLA members have participated in many leadership activities this year. To name a few, they hosted districts in Gering, had 13 students participate in STAR with 3 advance to State. We conduct our annual Big Brother and Big Sister Program with the second grade students on a monthly basis. Our members are planning on participating in a peer education retreat in Kearney towards the end of February, and will attend State conference in April. During FCCLA week, our chapter has sold Kiss-o-grams to the whole school and will conduct trivia related to FCCLA. They also plan on having a dance in the next couple of weeks.
FCCLA: The Ultimate Leadership Experience is a dynamic and effective national student organization that helps young men and women become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences Education. FCCLA has more than 220,000 members and nearly 7,000 chapters from 50 state associations and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The organization has involved more than ten million youth since its founding in 1945. Locally, we have around 30 students who actively participate in FCCLA.
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is unique among youth organizations because its programs are planned and run by student members. It is the only Career and Technical Student Organization with the family as its central focus. Participation in national programs and chapter activities helps members become strong leaders in their families, careers, and communities.
