Chapter Spotlight: Troy Buchanan High School

This week's chapter spotlight is submitted by Alexa Faries, Vice President of National Programs.  Thanks Alexa!

Troy Buchanan High School FCCLA has a busy next few months in store for its members! Between bottle recycling and upcoming community service projects, TBHS FCCLA has a busy Program of Work to keep them involved. Their chapter meetings are held once a month during school in the gymnasium where much is to be discussed. This chapter has eleven chapter officers, ranging from president to activities coordinator!

Some of their community service projects include Bottle Recycling, Parents Night Out, Bunco Night, Adopt a Soldier, Bell Ringing, Gingerbread Houses for Lydia’s House Charity, and much more! Parents Night Out is a semiannual event where FCCLA members baby-sit children of the community. Parents donate money or items to support the chapter’s chosen charity. At Bunco Night, teams will play bunco to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network. Some of these proceeds will go to make blankets and care packages for the children.

Some of their other projects include the Annual Parade amd Picnic. as well as the Back to School Bash. For the local Homecoming parade, FCCLA hands out balloons then go to the park for a barbeque and some get-to-know-you activities. The Back to School Bash gives FCCLA opportunities for membership recruitment! Through games to learn about FCCLA, potential members can get a feel on what FCCLA is all about!

The year is just beginning and this chapter has a lot underway! Keep up the good work Troy Buchanan High School FCCLA!
