Ten student members of the Stafford Technical Center chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) attended the New Hampshire FCCLA annual Spring Leadership Conference on April 8th and 9th, in Bartlett, NH, at the Grand Summit Resort Hotel. This year’s conference theme was “Up, Up, and Away With FCCLA”. Approximately 250 members, advisors, and volunteers from New Hampshire and Vermont attended the conference. FCCLA – Family, Career and Community Leaders of America – is the Ultimate Leadership Experience. FCCLA is a national student organization that helps students become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences Education.
Every year, FCCLA chapters take part in a nationwide community service project. This year our students are contributing to FCCLA’s National Outreach Project called DIG IT. The money raised from this campaign will go to Children’s Miracle Network. The Stafford Chapter raised $100.00 will go directly the Fletcher Allen Children’s Hospital, the Vermont member the Children’s Miracle Network.
