FCCLA
Chapter Observes National FCCLA Week
Members of the Mont Pleasant Middle School
Family, Career and Community Leaders of
America (FCCLA) joined more than 220,000
members in celebrating National FCCLA Week
Feb. 11-17. This year's theme was "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.
The Mont Pleasant Middle School members are
celebrating by assisting the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society with their "Pennies for
Patients" campaign. Each grade selected a
project to help with the fundraising. The
students will be able to guess the number of
candies in a jar, attend a school dance and
some are helping around the school for
donations. The goal is to collect $100.00
for this cause. FCCLA members made and sent
fifteen back sacs to a local soldier in Iran
where he will distribute them to children.
The back sacks have been filled with school
supplies. MPMS FCCLA has more than 60
members.
