Toledo High School FCCLA reported:  

“I am so proud of Toledo FCCLA Chapter Co-Presidents Emma Cline and Corianne King both freshman at Toledo High School,” said Mrs. Ketchum, their adviser. “These two young ladies presented a Workshop session at the Region 2 Fall Meeting for other Chapter Presidents and Vice Presidents. They are pretty amazing for being so young.”

We also did a pretty good job as a chapter, winning 7 raffle prizes for the scholarship of Washington State FCS students entering the teaching field. We would like to thank the Toledo Fire Department for participating in a workshop session also. We had great fun and an informational meeting at Toledo First Baptist Church. We are grateful for the use of their facilities for our meeting. It is centrally located for our meeting and we appreciate their generosity.
