Students Learn Valuable Career and Technical Skills at State FCCLA Leadership Conference

Students from Fulda chapter learned skills and knowledge to become a better community member, wage earner and leader by attending the Minnesota Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) State Conference in Bloomington, MN from March 23-25.  More than 1100 middle and high school students attended from throughout the state.  This year’s theme was “Dare to Explore FCCLA.”  Chapters from schools across the state competed in STAR events, participated in youth training workshops, and took part in general sessions led by student officers.

Students competed in more than 58 different categories through STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) Events.  They gave presentations that were evaluated by business and industry professionals and also peer reviewed about projects they had organized and executed in the past year.  They competed with these projects at the regional level and scored high enough to advance to the state competition.

Fulda had 41 members compete this year at the State Conference.
