Welcome back, Foundations in Teaching Students! 🎉

We started the day with some fun classroom culture-building activities, and then… when duty calls, we answer! 💪

All of our first-block high school students jumped in to help our kindergarteners make it through lunch. They were the best tiny pouch openers, Go-Gurt openers, Lunchable openers, tiny-question answerers, and tray-dumping helpers! 😂

It was truly all hands on deck, and they absolutely conquered it. Even more impressive? For many of our high school students, this was their very first interaction with students!

What a way to start the year. ❤️ I have a feeling it’s going to be a GREAT one!

Now that we’re finally home after our flight was delayed and us getting home around 6am yesterday 🫣🙃, I finally have a moment to reflect on what an incredible experience this week has been.

We couldn’t be more proud of Chloe for placing 7th in the NATION in Public Policy Advocate and earning a Gold rating! 🇺🇸🏅 This is an incredible accomplishment, and she represented our chapter, school, and community with excellence.

Lola may not have competed this year, but she returned home inspired with so many amazing ideas to help our chapter grow and become even more conneCTEd through FCCLA. We can’t wait to put those ideas into action this school year! ❤️🤍💙

As we wrap up an unforgettable week, we are overwhelmed by the generosity of the businesses, organizations, and individuals in our community who believe in investing in our students. Because of your support, these opportunities became a reality, and the impact will last far beyond this trip.
