FCCLA, FACS students enjoy many projects
The Loyal School District’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter and family and consumer sciences (FACS) department have been busy with lots of projects to improve their skills, in the home and in the business world.
Top right and bottom right: The FCCLA’s monthly ice cream sale was once again a success. Nearly $250 was raised, which will be donated to the Loyal Food Pantry to help offset operational expenses. The FCCLA held a sale each month this year, with two more left. Our FCCLA chose the food pantry as our local priority project.
Top left: Loyal had 20 members participate in the Regional Competitive Events on Feb 21. Eleven members qualified to compete at state conference April 8-10. Members have been busy making adjustments as recommended by regional evaluators, and can’t wait to hear how they did. The top two entries at state will be selected to compete at National Conference this summer. Pictured are (front, l–r, listed with their event category) Colter Rueth and Savannah Wilke, community service project display; Jillian Rueth, career investigation; Maleia Smith, early childhood education; Kacie Bauer and Stefany Degenhardt, interior design; (middle) Summer Smith and Bryce Deegan, interior design; Parker Smith and Noelle Teschner, repurpose and redesign; Jordynn Corder, job interview; Hope Peroshek, career investigation; Hannah Strey, interior design; (back) Tryn Scheel, job interview; Payton Tsai and Olivia Nikolai, digital story for change; Sam Lathrop, teach and train; Autumn Zvolena and Cain Toufar, repurpose and redesign.

Students helped select colors and designs, then did the cutting and tying to finish six tie blankets. Over $350 was raised from just the quilts. Baking and Pastry class and Foods 2 also made baked goods donated to the bake sale.
