Four students from Exeter-Milligan recently

Leadership Workshop. This annual event was held this year
at the Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Kearney, Nebraska and featured over
530 students from all corners of Nebraska. EMHS FCCLA officers attending were
Chapter President- Jaiden Papik, Chapter Treasurer- Josie Kresak, Chapter
Vice-President- Kate Jansky and District #4 President- Caitlin Murphy.
Unable to attend was Chapter Historian- Macy Due.
All students
at this event heard from members of the State Officer Team, the State Peer
Officer Team, and other chapter leaders about state and national programs,
leadership development, and chapter management.
This year, Nebraska FCCLA has challenged all 100 Chapters
to complete a “Battle of the Belts” community service project. We want to make
Nebraska a safer place for all of our members, advisers, families and
communities by promoting seat belt use and safe driving habits, such as
avoiding driving under the influence. Nebraska FCCLA is part of the Drive Smart
Nebraska Coalition, which includes various agencies and organizations that
provide resources and speakers to support the conference. These
include: CHI Health, Nebraska MADD, Project Extra Mile, Nebraska Department of
Transportation Highway Safety Office, National Safety Council – Greater Omaha
Chapter and Teens in the Driver’s Seat.
FCCLA is a dynamic and
effective national student organization that helps young men and women become
leaders and address important personal, family, work and societal issues
through Family and Consumer Sciences education. Nebraska
FCCLA has more than 3,000 members in 100 chapters across the state. For
