New Virginia FCCLA Partners!
Virginia FCCLA is teaming up with the Safe Surfin’ Foundation and their Cyber S.W.A.T. program! The Safe Surfin’ Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit Cyber Safety and Responsibility educational initiative, created by law enforcement professionals in 1998, and dedicated not only to protecting youth from those who would do them harm, but pro-actively educating them in the safe and responsible use of today’s ever-changing technology. Together, we’re improving and saving lives.
Representatives of Safe Surfin’ will be with us during the FCCLA Expo on April 12 and presenting a workshop to students on April 13. Be sure to register for and attend the 2024 State Leadership & Recognition Conference so you can learn from this Virginia FCCLA partner!
Work with your students to become aware of food insecurity issues in their neighborhood and take action to meet needs.
Explore.Act.Tell. is fully funded by Albertsons Companies Foundation Nourishing Neighbors Program. The Explore.Act.Tell. lessons and projects work well with your FCCLA service-learning projects. Lessons will teach your students, through a series of activities, about the issues surrounding hunger and food insecurity and develop leadership skills they will use to create and implement a community service project.
Using a project based learning strategy, students will:
EXPLORE a topic
Design ways to ACT on solutions by implementing a project and competing for grant funds to share with deserving organizations
TELL Your Story: Using a recap of the project and results, along with photos and a video, students share their story so others can join the action to fight hunger.
Cash awards are provided for winning projects. Be sure to check it out!
2024 National FCCLA Chapter Adviser of the Year
Join us in congratulating Mrs. Bobbi Comer, who was named the 2024 National FCCLA Chapter Adviser of the Year. This award, presented by the U.S. Army, is the highest honor a chapter adviser can receive and aims to recognize and celebrate the dedication, leadership, and excellence of outstanding chapter advisers who have made significant contributions to the growth and success of FCCLA at the local, state, and national levels. This prestigious award is presented annually at the National Leadership Conference to acknowledge the critical role that advisers play in shaping the future of FCCLA members.
For over 35 years, Comer has been the Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Teacher and FCCLA Adviser at Page County High School in Shenandoah, Virginia. Being an FCS teacher is not just a career; for Comer, it is a passion. Comer works to instill in students the importance of family and a love of learning so that they may one day effectively balance their roles at work and home.
Comer served as the Local Chapter Adviser Representative to the National FCCLA Board of Directors from 2019-2022. She has been the adviser to more than 30 FCCLA state officers and 5 national officers. She is now the Virginia FCCLA State Adviser!
