Omni Middle School FCCLA Scores with Talent and Service
FCCLA stands for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. It is a national organization with family as its focus that encourages students to give back to their community and build leadership skills.
Omni Middle School FCCLA recently participated in a district competition where students made banners, t-shirts and posters, which were judged for their creativity, construction, design, and theme presentation. Omni Middle School took first place in two contests and second place in the third.
Winning first place in the banner contest were Samantha Spoonhoward, Nicole Tesmond, Kasey Michaud, Victoria Kwong, Gayoung Choi, and Zoeya Cowles. Winning first place in the t-shirt contest were Kasandra Diaz, Ana Montoya, Aaleyah Diaz, Fabiana Sanchez, Camilla DeFilippi, and Jayla Tanelus. Second place winners for the poster contest were Valerie Kwong and Nicholas Lee.
Omni Middle School students also performed the flag ceremony during the event which took place on November 5, 2014 at the Cooperative Extension Service in West Palm Beach, Florida. Omni Middle School FCCLA received two other awards: Largest Middle School Affiliated Membership and Largest Middle School in Attendance.
During the FCCLA District Meeting students participated in a leadership game, held district elections, and planned community service activities. Brandon Arnone and Lauren Victoria did a spectacular job emceeing. Leah Brand sang beautifully and Anilyse Daniel danced impressively for the talent portion!

On Friday, November 7, 2014 a few Omni FCCLA students went to a local elementary school carnival at Morikami Park Elementary School. Samantha, Nicole and Valerie volunteered from 4:10pm to 7:10pm, and were supervising some of the games, such as bounce house twister and baseball hitting. Morikami PTSA was very appreciative. FCCLA is currently spearheading a food drive and has a beach clean-up planned.
Some members in our chapter expressed what FCCLA means to them. “FCCLA is a leadership club to help us accomplish goals, to achieve hard work, and enhance leadership skills.” said Kasey Michaud. “I think that the meaning of FCCLA is learning to work to the best of your abilities to perform your duties, which strengthens leadership skills. FCCLA is a very good club because it helps kids socialize with other people as we spend time in someone else’s shoes while performing community service.” said Aaleyah Diaz. “FCCLA means to me that we will help people and become great leaders in the future. I want to help people be happy and help others to give back to their community. FCCLA is great,” said Fabiana Sanchez.
