Wednesday, November 8th the JWMS and JWHS FCCLA traveled to Holton High School for our Fall Leadership Conference. Our very own District E-West President Chase Holman led the meeting for our 12 schools along with VP of National Programs Caroline Small who recognized many students for their FCCLA accomplishments. The day was spent listening to Keynote Speaker Tanika Cherie about leadership, character and integrity along with several workshops presented by PEER Ed and State Officers.
Spanish 4 students were able to see some really cool ofrendas, make sugar skulls, and practice their Spanish at a local restaurant with traditional cuisine during their field trip today. They even learned how to properly use a Mexican fork...corn tortilla.
