Gruver FCCLA Makes A Difference During National FCCLA Week
Gruver Members of the Texas association of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) joined more than 220,000 members in celebrating National FCCLA Week February 10-16, 2008. This year's theme is: ‘making a difference everywhere.” During National FCCLA Week, members planned and carried 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 Gruver chapter celebrated with the following activities: All FCCLA members wore red or white to school on Monday, Tuesday they held the Mr. Irresistible contest, Wednesday was Guess Which Teacher Contest, Thursday was the annual FCCLA Carnation Sale, and Friday was the Ms. Irresistible contest.
FCCLA: The Ultimate Leadership Experience is a dynamic and effective national student organization that helps young men and women become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences Education. FCCLA has more than 220,000 members and nearly 7,000 chapters from 50 state associations and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The Gruver FCCLA has 33 active members. The organization has involved more than ten million youth since its founding in 1945.
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is unique among youth organizations because its programs are planned and run by student members. It is the only Career and Technical Student Organization with the family as its central focus. Participation in national programs and chapter activities helps members become strong leaders in their families, careers, and communities.
