• FCCLA :We are proud of the TC FCCLA members for being fabulous representatives of Tri County School at the National Leadership Conference in San Diego! The students and Mrs. P worked hard to fundraise in May and June to attend this event. Many, many generous individuals and businesses in the area also made this trip possible! Elected as an Area Officer at the state meeting, Isabel Pearson attended to help develop her leadership skills. Brynlee Reese, Ada Pearson and Katie Clark competed with their Sports Nutrition presentation, earning a silver rating. Josie Wade and Rachel Levenhagen competed in the Interior Design event, earning a bronze rating, just 3/10 of a point shy of a silver! Mrs P. is so proud of them for all of the work they put into their events to advance from the area and state levels to the national level! We balanced our time at the conference with a few sightseeing adventures including Coronado Island and the San Diego Zoo. In the coming year, we are excited to implement some of the ideas we brought home from the conference!
