FCCLA Team Headed to Nationals
FCCLA students competing at state competition in Corpus last week pose with their awards.
Seven Buffalo FCCLA students traveled to the State FCCLA Leadership Conference in Corpus Christi April 9-11.
Randy Salazar, Brianna Johnston, and Annel Escobar took 2nd place in Chapter Service Project Portfolio. They will advance to Nationals in Washington D.C. in July.
“I feel like we did a great job presenting our project at state,” Salazar said. “Hosting the anti-bullying program for the elementary students back in January was a great project and I am glad we are able to share our success with others at the National level now.”
Gracie Ferguson earned a gold medal in Etiquette as well.
Chelsea Harter and Laura Espinosa participated in Chapter in Review Portfolio.
David McAlpine competed in Sports Nutrition as well.
The Buffalo FCCLA has seen a huge increase in numbers this year, a 210% increase to be exact. This year they have 31 members compared to last year’s 9.
“The kids brought their personal best to the table at the state competition and I am proud of each and every one of them,” FCCLA Advisor Wendy Neyland said. “I am very excited to carry my first team to Nationals.”
