Highland County Family and Consumer Sciences Board holds recent meetings

The Highland County FCS Board’s meetings are underway.

Our county’s FCS board is responsible for promoting our industry of Family and Consumer Sciences while helping out those in the community. In the recent meetings, the Board has discussed multiple things involving our upcoming Summer Judging and our Style Revue and Awards ceremony.

On June 1, multiple members participated in the STEM Exploration Day for Highland, Clinton and Fayette counties, where they conducted experiments involving science while promoting different 4-H projects involving Family and Consumer Sciences.

In their most recent meeting, they elected new officers which included the following: President Wyatt Morrow, Vice President Kathryn Ogden, Secretary Sydney Hamilton, News Reporter Hailey Halterman, Clothing and Textile Representative Leah Robinson, Food and Nutrition Representative Lilly Royse and FCS Special Interest Representative Elizabeth Ogden.

Their next upcoming event is the Style Review and Awards ceremony, which will be held July 18 at 6 p.m. in the Southern State Community College Auditorium. This ceremony will recognize 4-H members who have shown high proficiency in their FCS projects judged at summer judging while highlighting our clothing and textile exhibitors, who will walk the runway and showcase their outfits from their projects.
