Additional FCCLA Pic!
Herington FCCLA went to Abilene on Feb 1 to present Star Events and run for District Office. Two members will serve as the District C President Korey Meier and 1st VP Karizma Matthews. We have three students going onto State in Job Interview level II and III and Professional Presentation. We also had two groups present on Focus on Children whom fell a little short but hopefully gained great exposure in presenting to Judges. Their projects were Family Fun Night and Connection Day with the HES students and their families. They did great community service for our school. Great Job FCCLA Kids.

According to Attendance Works, if your child misses 10%, or about 18 days of school, it can drastically affect their academic success. By 9th grade, regular and high attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores. Communicate with the school about our attendance policies and work to ensure the success of your child!
