Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) will meet their match in July at the national meeting in Orlando, Florida. Mount Rainier was quite successful this year at the FCCLA State Leadership meeting held in Wenatchee over spring break. Two-person team Denaya Blaylock and Alex Flood represented MRHS and competed in the Chapter Service Manual STAR Event. They earned the rating of Gold with a score of 98.3 out of 100. They scored the highest in the state and earned a place at the National FCCLA Leadership meeting.

In other FCCLA news, Alex Flood won the election for Region 4 (King County) for an at-large position on the FCCLA State officer board.

FCCLA is a Career and Technical Student leadership group similar to FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). FCCLA has the family as its focus, and student work on a variety of projects to prepare them to be leaders in families and their communities. www.fcclainc.org
