• FCCLA - Mrs. Tietz
• The 2013-2014 FCCLA year has kicked of to a great start!  The"Kiss the Pig" contest atHomecoming Coronation was held in the elementary school.  Mrs. Hendrickson , 5th grade teacher, was the lucky elementary teacher that was chosen by students to kiss the pig at the Homecoming assembly the morning of Homecoming.  The kids loved seeing her kiss the pig, which was not so little this year and oh how he squealed!  The football cheerleaders joined us to bring a whole lot of school spirit to the elementary students, the kids demonstrated their spirit by cheering along to "Battle Cry", "Go Bananas", and "Say What".  Also for Homecoming, the FCCLAers sold tattoos during lunch at both the elementary school and high school, all proceeds going to the city to help fund the new playground equipment for the park.  We also sponsored the Duck Pond at the Homecoming Carnival.  Currently, we are holding our annual Fruit, Meat, & Cheese fundraiser, so please contact an FCCLAer if you are interested in buying fruit.  On November 19, FCCLA will be sponsoring our annual community food drive, inviting other school organizations to help and all students to attend.  The students will go door to door in the evening to collect food in which they will then distribute to families in need in our community.  Thank you in advance for donating food!  We have our District FCCLA meeting in Webster coming up in January.  FCCLAers will take their Illustrated Talks to present and earn the ability to advance to the state meeting in April.
