FCCLA Members Attend State Fair

Rockbridge County High School members of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) attended FCCLA Day at the State Fair of Virginia in Doswell. Over 70 members, advisers, and chaperones enjoyed a day filled with educational and leadership opportunities.

Members were given the opportunity to participate in four FCCLA contests – FCCLA Poster, Brand FCCLA Wear - Accessories, Brand FCCLA Wear - Clothing, and Brand FCCLA at Home. FCCLA state officers judged the projects based on originality, creativity, and neatness. Each participant received a ribbon for his or her entry and the top winner in each of three levels received a trophy.

Members also participated in an SOL Scavenger Hunt where they explored Virginia’s largest outdoor classroom, matching educational opportunities throughout the fairgrounds with related Standards of Learning, including those encompassing family and career issues.
