Sportsmanship informational evening at Delaware Academy!
School may have just started but our Margaretville FCCLA has been busy all summer!
Margaretville FCCLA proudly represented their school and community at the highly
anticipated FCCLA National Leadership Conference (NLC) held at the Seattle Convention
Center from June 29 – July 3, 2024. This annual event brought together more than 8,000
passionate Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) student members,
advisers, and guests.
The conference provided Margaretville FCCLA members an amazing experience, including
attending inspiring speaker sessions, engaging in youth workshops, competing nationally,
and networking with fellow youth leaders. Centered around "The Ultimate Journey," this
conference highlighted how FCCLA offers exceptional prospects to its members and
advisers through Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education. By exploring career
opportunities and instilling real-world skills, advocacy, and service, FCCLA empowers its
members to make an impact that will guide them on their ultimate journey.
Sandy Spavone, Executive Director of Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America,
expressed her enthusiasm: "This year has been nothing short of amazing, filled with
milestones that reflect FCCLA’s unwavering dedication to its cause. We are thrilled to have
welcomed over 8,000 members, advisers, corporate partners, and guests who are dedicated
to discovering the unlimited possibilities available through FCCLA."
During the conference, LilliAnn Van Benschoten, Avery Fairbairn, and Madison Rizzo
showcased their exceptional talent and dedication by participating in various events. Their
remarkable achievements reflect their hard work, determination, and the guidance of their
advisers. LilliAnn Van Benschoten competed in level 1 Fashion Construction, earning a gold
medal and a national 2nd place finish. She also was selected in the Top 20 and displayed
her peacock-inspired dress at the fashion show. Madison Rizzo and Avery Fairbairn
competed in Level 1 Recycle and Repurpose and earned silver medals with their beautifully
displayed recycled jewelry. Ms. Karn, FACS Teacher and Margaretville FCCLA advisor was
honored with the National Spirit of Advising Award.
While in Seattle the group took a boat tour of Puget Sound, toured the famous Pikes Market
with a local chef, and went High in the sky in Seattle's iconic Space Needle. Looking ahead,
FCCLA will be hosting its next National Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL from July 5 -
9, 2025.
Additionally, at the end of July, students and staff from Margaretville CSD attended FCCLA’s
Summer Leadership where they joined youth leaders from across the state to participate in
the event held at SUNY Oneonta. Advisor Dove Karn, NYS Board of Trustees member led a
group of student members.
Student Addison Passarelli (7th Grade) participated in the Junior Leader Program. This
program is where students learn the FCCLA Creed, the planning process, STAR Events, and
National Programs. She will also attend Fall Leadership this October and will be
instrumental in planning the NYS FCCLA Spring Leadership Conference.
Other MCS students completed the District Representative Training program led by General
Brown Teaching Assistant Wendy Johnson and Margretville FACS teacher Dove Karn. In this
group the students did workshops in FCCLA trivia, STEP 1, Planning Process, Service
Learning, Creating a Great Chapter, and officer roles. The following students participated in
this: 9th Grade - LilliAnn VanBenschoten; 9th Grade - Grace Fairbairn, 8th Grade- Julia
Balcom Salazar, 9th Grade- Angel Garcia Jimenez.
All of the attendees also participated in a community outreach program, collecting over 300
