Service learning is an increasingly important aspect of a student’s academic experience. FACS curriculum provides many opportunities for students to learn by giving back to their community. When planning a service learning activity this fall, think about your local, regional, or state children’s hospital. FCCLA has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) for its National Outreach Project. As we begin our second year with CMN, we celebrate our success in 2009-2010. FCCLA members raised more than $240,000 to support hospitals around the United States.
To get involved in the 2010-2011 efforts, see the Children’s Miracle Network page of the FCCLA national website. Activities can include visiting or touring a hospital visit and tour, sewing blankets, dolls or other items, organizing a community fundraiser and inviting CMN officials and patients to attend.

The members of the Glenpool FCCLA Chapter hosted a Baby Shower for our CMN hospital, St. Francis. They sent out invitations to all members and faculty, created a list of needed items based on a list from the hospital, decorated, made food, and had an awesome time! There were two members of the hospital staff that came and collected all of the items that had been donated. They also shared with everyone how the donations would be used. It was a very successful event.
