Addi Edds has been busy representing Chillicothe and Missouri FCCLA in a big way! ❤️🖤

As MO FCCLA State Vice President of Community Service, Addi spent September 21–22 in Jefferson City attending the FCCLA Roadshow and DESE Family & Consumer Sciences Mentoring meetings. Addi, FCCLA Adviser Mrs. Christy, and State President Lydea Britt (Salisbury) presented to both groups on a variety of FCCLA topics and helped share the impact FCCLA has on students across our state.

Addi and Lydea also had the opportunity to visit with Travis Plume, Assistant Commissioner in the Office of College & Career Readiness, to talk about their involvement in FCCLA and the leadership experiences it provides.

We’re proud of your leadership, Addi!

Spanish students put their skills to the test during Homecoming Week with a fun Escape Room review activity!

Working in teams, students solved puzzles entirely in Spanish by finding and decoding hidden clues placed all around the room. It was a great challenge that required collaboration, communication, and critical thinking—while reinforcing what they’ve been learning in class.

Way to work together, everyone!

Bringing the Culinary World into the Classroom!

Mrs. Hall’s Foods classes and Mrs. Shaffer’s Hospitality & Tourism/ProStart classes partnered with community partner Dustin Rennells for a hands-on culinary learning experience!

Dustin brought his wealth of knowledge and experience from the culinary world into our classrooms with a demonstration focused on professional knife skills, techniques, and safety. Students had the opportunity to see firsthand how proper knife handling and cutting techniques are used in a professional kitchen.

We are so thankful for community partners like Dustin who take the time to share their expertise with our students and help connect what they are learning in the classroom to real-world culinary careers.
