Haggan Receives Gold Medal at the FCCLA National Competition

Sheree Haggan competed at the FCCLA National Conference July 12-18th. She competed in a category called Illustrated Talk where the student has to find a concern that relates to Family and Consumer Sciences in our community. Sheree decided that her female peers were struggling with the confidence to say no to drugs, alcohol, sex or other peer pressures so she developed a speech to help build "A Woman's Worth." She wanted to let these young women know that they have self worth and that it is okay to say no to peer pressure. She gave this speech to classes at O'Leary and Robert Stuart Junior High. She also gave the speech to some of the Twin Falls High school girls. Sheree received a Gold Medal at the National Competitions.
