On November 24, 2025, members from FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) attended the Fall Leadership Conference at The Pines Manor in Edison, NJ. As the conference focused on building leadership skills, confidence and teamwork, our students were able to attend interactive workshops and enjoy a motivational guest speaker. They left feeling inspired and were able to connect with FCCLA members from across the state. Our student members also collected non-perishable food items for the Middlesex Food Pantry and pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House.
Over 600 NJ FCCLA members competed in various events. We are so proud of the work our student members did in preparation for this conference.
