Sometimes great news arrives a little later than expected.

After receiving the official STAR Events rubrics from National FCCLA, our Fredonia FCCLA chapter was informed of scoring errors that changed the final results for two of our teams.

We’re thrilled to announce that Morgan Adams and Millie McKenney are officially the National Runner-Up (2nd Place) in National Programs in Action – Level 2!

While we’re disappointed they didn’t have the opportunity to stand on the national stage and receive the recognition they had earned, this corrected result reflects the countless hours of passion they poured into their project throughout the school year.

We are also proud to announce that Eden Hill and Jocelyn Miller’s corrected score earned them a Gold rating at the State Recognition Ceremony for their project.

Congratulations, Morgan, Millie, Eden, and Jocelyn! These accomplishments are well deserved, and all of Fredonia is incredibly proud of you.

Yesterday, our Fredonia Junior High and High School FCCLA members enjoyed one of the most memorable experiences of the National Leadership Conference...a Kansas Luncheon Cruise on the Potomac River!

The afternoon was filled with great food, beautiful views of Washington, D.C., and lots of fun as students danced the afternoon away with FCCLA members from across Kansas. It was the perfect opportunity to relax, celebrate, and make new memories after an exciting week at Nationals.

Experiences like these remind us how special it is to represent Kansas on the national stage. It's always a great day to be a Kansas kid in Washington, D.C.!

Our Fredonia FCCLA members had an unforgettable couple of days exploring Washington, D.C.! They visited the historic grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, navigated the Metro, cheered on the Washington Nationals at a Major League Baseball game, and enjoyed great meals at The Cheesecake Factory and Kura Revolving Sushi Bar.

One of the highlights of the trip was unexpectedly running into Fredonia alumna Ashleigh (Surber) George, Vice President of Project Management at Oracle. Ashleigh took a few moments to visit with our chapter and shared that she still uses many of the leadership, communication, and workplace skills she learned through FCCLA in her career today.

Experiences like these make the National Leadership Conference even more meaningful, connecting students with opportunities and reminders of where FCCLA can take them.
