Forty-two members of the Mandan chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America will join more than 219,000 members in celebrating National FCCLA Week Feb. 7 to 13. This year’s theme is “Grasp Greatness.” During National FCCLA Week, members plan and carry out activities to address teen and societal concerns and show how Family and Consumer Sciences education can help them achieve the ultimate leadership experience.      

The Mandan chapter was started in 2006 and has taken part in community service projects, fundraising and spending time helping at local elementary schools.

During this week, the Mandan chapter will be fundraising to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, which is located in Fargo. For more information, or if you would like to donate to help out our chapter, contact Kayla Kakela at 663-9532.

FCCLA is a national student organization that helps young men and women become leaders and address important personal, family, work and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences Education.
