SUBJECT: Students
Show Their Superpowers at State FCCLA Leadership Conference
1,400
students recently attended the state convention of the South Dakota Family,
Career and Community Leaders of America, which was held April 27th –
29th at the Ramkota Convention Center in Sioux Falls. The
superpower-themed event was a great success. FCCLA members attended workshops,
competed in STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) Events, and ran for
leadership positions. On Sunday night, students listened to highly acclaimed
keynote speaker Laymon Hicks. Students also had the opportunity to attend
workshops presented by peer educators.
Katie Arbach was on the Career Peer Education team giving a workshop on
Career in Nonprofit.
On
Monday, the new state executive council was announced. STAR Event winners were also announced. The new state officers and STAR Event winners
will attend the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas this
coming July.
FCCLA
is the only youth-led organization with family as its central focus. Members
learn how to be active community leaders, become caring family members, and
prepare for life beyond high school.
