The results from FCCLA competitions is below. Our students did an amazing job at state FCCLA the past couple of days. We had several learning curves but I believe it will only make us stronger in the future. The freshman competed at a level against juniors and seniors due to the makeup of their team, which is difficult. No one had ever attended or competed in person at this event before, so adjusting their mindset and prior experience was challenging. And for several others, this was their first time ever competing in FCCLA. I am so proud of our students! I know they came away with several ideas, opportunities, and memories of their experience, workshops, and speakers. Drake--Repurpose and Redesign L3--Gold Rating--National Qualifier. Michaela and Tiffani -- Sports Nutrition L3--Silver Rating. Evyn Finalyason--Focus On Children L3--Silver Rating. Kori, Makenna, and Mckenzie--Professional Presentation L3 -- Silver Rating Emma Fulton--National Programs In Action L3--Bronze Rating. Washington County was recognized as an Active Chapter and District D received the Conference Image Award. Drake will travel to San Diego to compete at the National level.

Here is an example of some of the repurposing projects students in the Advanced Materials Technology class construct. This is a workbench made out of oak and a salvaged SMART board. I think it is neat to reuse electronic waste and turn it back into something useful.

I am one proud FCCLA adviser! Eight FCCLA students from Washington County competed in state competitions yesterday, one received district officer training, and one judged STAR events. Five of them had never prepared projects for our competitions before, several competed in advanced divisions, and none had been to a state FCCLA conference before! They learned so much by being competitors, judges, timers, runners, photographers, and voting delegates. Congratulations to everyone! Drake is headed to Nationals in San Diego!!!

5 members of the WCHS Forensics Team competed at the Last Chance Tournament in Abilene last night. Last Chance tournaments do not allow students to compete in events which they've already qualified for State Champs in, giving other competitors a better chance. WCHS took advantage of that and qualified in 2 more events: Laura Skupa and Kady Toole qualified in Improvised Duet Acting (IDA) and Abi Sawin and Kady qualified in Duet Acting. Laura also placed 3rd in Impromptu Speaking. Kylee Reichers placed 4th and Abi Sawin placed 5th in Original Oration. If you would like to hear performances of these pieces join us on Thursday, April 28th at 6:30pm in the band room to hear all of our WCHS state qualifiers.
