The New Rockford-Sheyenne FCCLA Chapter attended the District 3 Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Leadership Meeting that took place at Hope Church in Grand Forks on Oct. 23, with nearly 250 district members in attendance. District 3 consists of members from Dakota Prairie, Drayton, Edmore, Grafton, Grand Forks, Hatton-Northwood, Langdon Area, May-Port CG, Midway, Minto, New Rockford-Sheyenne, Park River Area and Valley-Edinburg school districts. The meeting was presided over by Kiarra Hodek, District 3 President from Langdon Area Schools, assisted by her advisor, Mrs. Amy Kram. Kiarra was assisted by the other district officers including our very own, Kayahna Hopfauf, our chapter president and district VP of STAR Events.
The day was filled with leadership opportunities that helped the FCCLA members gain leadership skills and experience.
The Keynote Speakers were Corporal Beth Skari, Grand Forks Red River Resource Officer and Sergeant Danny Pemberton who spoke to the students about situational awareness and what they can do to protect themselves. A range of topics were covered and the students were made aware of the dangers of distracted driving as well as what to do in situations that are dangerous.
