Northwestern High School FCCLA (Family, Career, Community Leaders of America) students and their adviser, Kathy Lahti, attended the national conference and competition in Orlando, Fla., July 8-12. They joined about 6,800 members, advisers, alumni and guests. The convention theme was “#reality check” and throughout the five-day convention participants examined and discussed several critical issues, including family, school and community violence prevention, physical as well as financial fitness, future career exploration, countless community service projects and were able to hear several amazing speakers.
