Wadena-Deer Creek Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members attended the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, Calif., June 30-July 4 with approximately 8,000 delegates from across the country.
Wadena-Deer Creek students Casey Bounds, Morgan Grangruth, Elliot Doyle, and Angela LeComte attended to compete in their STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) events.
The keynote speaker, Kyle Scheele, encouraged students to make the most of all opportunities to build a better world without fearing what others think. This promoted the conference theme of “Believe in Yourself.”
Conference delegates participated in workshops on FCCLA programs, toured the Spotlight on FCCLA Expo, listened to national candidate speeches, presented their STAR Events, and attended the recognition session.
