Two members of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club at Jefferson High School got a gold medal at the national FCCLA conference in Anaheim, California, held June 28 to July 5.
Soon-to-be seniors Laurynn Armstrong and Kati Preskar competed in life event planning, in which they planned a joint graduation party for next summer. To prepare for their winning presentation, they picked a venue for their graduation party (the barn at the fairgrounds in Boulder) and set a budget with their parents that included the cost of catering, invitations and decorations, among other things.
Jefferson High School’s FCCLA adviser Cassidy Parsons’s dad, a former attorney for Lewis and Clark County, reviewed their budget and was impressed by its quality, given that it was prepared by high schoolers. He recommended they make a few changes to make it look “really professional,” according to Cassidy Parsons.
