The Chadron FCCLA chapter has been working on a community service project throughout the school year called “Baking for Birthdays”.
At the beginning of the school year, primary and intermediate teachers were asked to communicate with our chapter through a form telling us if they had students in their class they felt needed some extra help in celebrating their birthdays within their classroom. Their responses included how many cupcakes they would need, what flavor they would like and left the rest up to the chapter. Chadron FCCLA high school students then spent time after school, baking, decorating, and delivering orders upon the requested birth dates.
This project has proven to be a great experience for the FCCLA members and has brought smiles to many of our younger students in the school district. We will continue this project until the end of the year and most likely continue into the next year.
