Student Body Wants Your Feedback
|
|
As you know, FCCLA is revising the Student Body program guide, which will provide resources to enhance student involvement in FACS curriculum and student-directed FCCLA chapter projects.
The new version, which will be unveiled during the 2015 National Leadership Conference, will update the major topics featured in the current guide: eating right, being fit, and making healthy choices. More new content is being added, particularly mental and emotional health issues.
Given that the program guide's focus is expanding, do you think that the title should change, and what would you suggest? Or do you think that "Student Body" still is an appropriate title? Give us your feedback by filling out this short survey by Wednesday, December 10, 2014 (please encourage your students to fill out the survey as well!)
