Congratulations to all of the Niobrara County FCCLA students who competed at the State Conference! We had nine students compete in a variety of events, and all represented our school extremely well. It is truly impressive what these students accomplish while also being involved in multiple clubs and participating in winter activities. Niobrara County students continue to take advantage of great opportunities and achieve outstanding success.

Thank you to everyone who supports our students and helps with fundraising efforts. We will have more opportunities to support these students as they prepare for Nationals. We are proud to have eight students qualify for the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. this summer, with the possibility of a ninth qualifier to be announced in the coming weeks.
