FCCLA MEMBERS ATTEND REGIONAL MEETING

A group of Winston High School students were among more than 500 regional members, advisers, and guests of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) for the Region 2 meeting held in Liberty, Missouri, on October 28th.  The theme for this year's meeting was "Next Generation".  At the meeting students learned how to become better leaders in their schools and communities.  The highlight of this year's meeting was the motivational words by speaker Kevin Laue.  Mr. Laue covered many motivational topics including the importance of having goals and dreams, the power of positive thinking, what it takes to be a leader, and striving for excellence.

The Winston chapter of FCCLA will continue to work with other chapters and advisers throughout the state to encourage others to discover their strengths, motivate students to target career goals, and initiate a plan to ignite youth leadership in our community.

FCCLA is a dynamic and effective national student organization that helps students become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and social issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education.  FCCLA has over 200,000 members and 5,500 chapters from 50 state associations.  Since its founding in 1945, FCCLA has involved more than ten million youth.  FCCLA is unique in that all of its programs are planned and run by student members.  Additionally, it is the only career and technical in-school student organization that features the family as its central focus.  Locally, we feel that by encouraging our students to participate in local, regional, state, and national activities we will help our students become strong leaders in their families, schools, careers, and communities.  It is a Great Day to be a Redbird!
