Last Thursday, ten of our 8th grade FCCLA members from the Food, Nutrition & Wellness class had an amazing day at the Region 3 FCCLA Meeting and UGA tour! They explored Dawson Hall—the heart of Family and Consumer Sciences—visited the McFall Child Development Center, checked out the state-of-the-art science labs, and got the latest FCCLA updates. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with students from across the region and get a real taste of college life and career possibilities.
