This week's blog includes activities done on the chapter and state level by some members of the National Executive Council to benefit our outreach partner, Share Our Strength!

Orange Grove High School participated in the go orange week for Share our Strength. FCCLA members sold card pin ups for $1 each and decorated the hallways with them. The Orange Grove chapter also hosted a powder puff football game between the senior and junior girls. T-shirts were designed and the high school boys dressed up as cheerleaders to support their grades. Admission to the game was $3 or 6 canned foods. Fact about childhood hunger in America and Share Our Strength were announced during the game. The event raised several thousands of dollars! Both fundraisers were major successes because our FCCLA members were all very passionate and excited about the great cause!

My chapter is doing a "Dance-A-Thon" in the spring
to fundraise for Share Our Strength. A Dance-A-Thon is when you have students
try to dance from 6 p.m till 6 a.m the next morning. For every hour they go,
they have sponsors donate money for Share Our Strength. We have Zumba
instructors come, play Just Dance on Wii, and have a blast for 6 hours to raise
money for a great cause!

Childhood hunger is not something simple; however it has a
simple solution. Here at Pleasant Grove High School in Utah, where I go to
school, we decided to make a goal of $500 by March. So far we are well on our
way. The Utah delegation’s goal is to raise $3.14 per member (get it?! Pi!). To
help us get to our goal we started by bring Awareness to No Kid Hungry. We made
a showcase right by the lunch room (there’s no way you can miss seeing this
showcase, it’s big). We educated our school and then got to the fun of raising
money. We started to sell Cotton Candy at Football games and our schools movie
nights. We now are selling at Basketball games and sometimes during lunch. We
are at $300 so far and so the hope is to rise more than our goal! (I’ll keep
you posted). At Fall Leadership, we raised over $600. We had boxes where people
put money in to pie a State or National Officer. I got pied 2 times. It was a
lot of fun because we raise a lot of money in just two days.
Overall, Utah is doing a great job and so is my Chapter!
