🏅 Big accomplishments to celebrate!🎉
Students in Megan Sager’s #CulinaryArts class at #CascadeHighSchool recently showcased their skills and leadership at the FCCLA State Leadership Competition.
👏 Adriana Cates competed with her project titled "Champions of Cheer" and earned a gold medal while placing 3rd in the state, an outstanding achievement! 🥇⭐
In addition to competitive success, the Cascade FCCLA chapter demonstrated a strong commitment to service by participating in the SLC Service-Learning Project, "Friends of the Troops." #Students donated several items to help create care packages for members of the United States Armed Forces and their families, supporting those who serve the nation.
The combination of #leadership, skill development and community service reflects the meaningful opportunities FCCLA provides for students to grow and make a positive impact.🧡🖤✨
