Heavy medals, Encampment FCCLA returns from state

Members of the Encampment Junior High and High School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Chapter earned more than 20 medals from the 2014 Wyoming State Competition in Cheyenne.

"We took 27 members and we brought home 23 medals, including nine gold, seven silver and seven bronze," Encampment FCCLA Advisor Cheryl Munroe said. "I only had four students who did not get a medal."

The three divisions are seventh through ninth grade, junior division; 10th through 12th is senior consumer, and students in 10th through 12th grade classes, who take a career class, are occupational.

"They all did very well and scored high," Munroe said.

The theme for this year's state competition was "Together We Make A Wave".

On Wednesday, the Encampment team members joined other schools in doing a "Service Tsunami" all around Cheyenne. The Encampment and Lusk chapters worked at the Salvation Army and helped clean the dining room, kitchens and warehouse.

During the business meeting on Friday, Encampment High School FCCLA members proposed a by-law change on officer selection and it was accepted. The Friday luncheon and awards recognition banquet was followed by the installation of new district and state officers, with the closing of the convention.
