The next meeting, students are doing s’more baking. At the end of the school year, there will be an ice cream sundae party. 

“FCCLA is a chance for students to learn basic life skills, such as cooking, baking and sewing. It seems as though some students might not have the time to take FACS so this is a great opportunity.” Said South High student Willson Rai. FCCLA is recommended to anyone who wants to be in a welcoming environment doing enjoyable activities.
