Sunburst Schools

Thats a wrap for the 2024 FCCLA State conference! We played, learned and collected multiple wins at this ultimate leadership experience. We had four students win gold for their projects: Nikki, Riccardo, Tanner and Ali! We had five students qualify for nationals: Nikki, Ali, Ella, Kacey and Halle! Sunburst won the Goosechase competition! Halle was second in the bead necklace competition! Way to make us proud!

The 6th grade students had to figure out how to trap a leprechaun using problem solving and reading skills. They all enjoyed their reward for figuring out how to trap these tricksters!
