Celebrate FCCLA Week!

Contributed by Jessica Marlow, National Consultant Team, Oklahoma

February 7th-13th, 2011 is National FCCLA Week. National FCCLA Week gives each chapter an opportunity to showcase their organization to their school and community. Use this as a time to show off projects your students have been working on and to show the community what you’re all about!  It is your time to shine!

There are many things that your chapter can do to celebrate National FCCLA Week.

• Create a Theme for the Week or use the National Theme “To Be Continued…”
• Have a small activity planned for each day for the members to participate in.
• Community Service Project After School
• Donuts and Juice with Teachers
• Wear your FCCLA T-shirt Day
• Pizza for lunch for all members
• Utilize the Proclamation from the National FCCLA Website and have your Mayor or Elected Official proclaim National FCCLA Week in your town.
• Make Bulletin Boards to highlight your members.
• Have members set up an information booth during lunch to give students more information about your organization.
• Get your local newspaper involved to highlight all of your activities.

The activities do not have to be extravagant or cost a lot of money. This is a special week to celebrate your members and their accomplishments and to show everyone how great FCCLA is in your school and community!

After FCCLA week is over, don’t forget to share your pictures and activities with Teen Times, teentimes@fcclainc.org.

Have fun celebrating with your members and HAPPY FCCLA WEEK!
