very person deserves the right to experience growth, failure, and success
time to stop, reflect, and focus on the M ake positives in your life
P It’s the middle of the year. You’ve probably completed the first semester of school. Some things have gone well so far this year, and some things haven’t gone quite as planned. That’s life, right? We dream dreams, we put forth effort, we step out in faith, and we see what happens. We encourage, we support, we empower. Thank you, FCCLA advisers, for this work that you do with students every day. YOU are making a difference! To help remind yourself of the importance of continuing the empowerment throughout the year, check out the acrostic to the right. Maybe it’s something you’d want to share with your students. Hold a class discussion to see what your students think of each line and challenge them to apply what they learn to their life.
“Leaders don’t create followers. They create more leaders.” –Tom Peters
Let’s continue the FCCLA tradition of leaders creating more leaders, a fantastic cycle that’s been happening since 1945. Here’s to a great second half of the year as you continue to lead, inspire, and empower!
