Great memories were made at the various tourist DC attractions, which included the National Mall, Arlington Cemetery and visits to the Utah Congressmen on Capitol Hill.

Marlena Dickerson and Crystal Nef received a gold medal. They competed in Chapter Service Project Display. They planned and implemented a “Parents Night Out Event” with the Utah Foster Care in which they offered babysitting services and dinner for families of foster care children. This event allowed foster parents to do what they wanted for five hours while FCCLA members took care of their children.
FCCLA is the only student led organization with the family as its major focus.
Through FCCLA, students learn leadership skills in working with youth and adults and preparing them fro careers and community service.
