“It’s okay if someone missed the first meeting. It isn’t too late to join,” Jenny Alvarez, the FCCLA president says. “For someone who isn't sure of joining, I would tell them that it is a fun experience and you get to do so many fun things and not just sit or come to meetings.” Mrs. Miller, the teacher in charge of FCCLA, says, “This year we have 20 members signed up. That is a little lower than last year, but people are still coming to join.”
This school year, the club hopes to do more community service than before. During the meeting, Julie Moeckli, the vice president, shared some of her ideas to help the community. She brought up reading to kids at the children’s hospital and volunteering at the local food pantry. Like Mrs. Miller said, “FCCLA helps students connect with their peers and help out their community,” That is what FCCLA intends on doing this year! -by Paige Adams
