September 4th - 10th was National Suicide Prevention Week. In my Leadership and Service Learning class, my 7th graders took on a project to raise money for the Arkansas Crisis Center. This project was modeled after a project a student did independently last year at Horatio High. I was inspired and impressed by this student’s initiative, and I asked if the student minded if I did the same project with my Leadership and Service Learning class. The student didn’t mind and gave me several tips for how I should facilitate the project.
My students spent several days working hard to create these flowers and then sold them to their peers and their families. They ended up raising $104 dollars to be donated, and I was very proud of them! Josie Miller

In November, 3 of my FCCLA chapter members competed in our STAR events and 2 of the members went as student judges. We had to wait until December to find out what each competitor earned and if they were advancing to state or not. In December at our fall meeting, our whole chapter got to cheer for these 3 competitors as they walked across the stage in front of our FCCLA Region to receive their awards. Kylie Ayers earned bronze in Job Interview and Reese Walker and Emma Ray earned bronze as well in Sports Nutrition. Reese and Emma qualified to compete in our FCCLA State competition in April. If they place high enough at our state competition, they will have a chance to compete in Nationals in Denver, Colorado! We are very excited and proud of them.
