Quality of life, involvement and implementation are key BY CHUCK TUCK | JOURNAL REPORTER Lake Stevens High School continues to shine with pride and leadership as five of its students are awarded with honors at an FCCLA event.

The FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) held a State Career Leadership Conference in Wenatchee where over 750 students and advisors attended this year to determine who will be going to the national competition in Orlando, FL this July.

The five students who will be representing LSHS FCCLA focused on three areas within the STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) category event.

Kate Fox, Alesha Goddard, and Derek Hahn competed in Applied Technology with their “SOS: Safe Online Surfing,” project. The three FCCLA members taught middle school students about the dangers on the Internet and how to protect themselves.

Breanna Granston competed in Early Childhood Education where she developed and demonstrated an age-appropriate lesson for kindergarten students focusing on the selected theme of “Under the Sea”.

Heidy Woods competed in Illustrated Talk with her “TKO – Targeting Kids Online” project. Woods educated high school students about the dangers on the Internet and social networks.

In addition, the National High School Community Service Award was given to LSHS for their SOS project.

Hahn presented the award winning project in Denver, CO at a National Cluster Meeting.

The LSHS FCCLA chapter focused their project goal on informing students and parents on internet safety that targeted ten areas, being grade specific to the topics.

Some of the topics include: predators, SPAM messages, and identity theft.

The Community Service Award is given to the chapter that best recognizes a community need and promotes the community.
