BRET
HARTE FHA-HERO CHAPTER BEGINS NEW YEAR
The
FHA-HERO Bret Harte Union High School Chapter got underway this year with a
slate of new officers. The club met earlier this month and the following were
appointed:
President: Kayla Houle, Vice President: Emma Brown, Treasurer: Madison Ratto, Secretary: Taylor Myers, Historian: Crystal Houle, Reporter: Kyle Lehrer
In October,
about 10 Chapter members visited the seniors at Foothill Village Senior Living
in Angels Camp and delivered hand-drawn decorated miniature pumpkins. Many of
the seniors were pleasantly surprised and appreciated seeing so many
festive-like pumpkins. “It brought many smiles to our faces and the seniors as
we passed out these cute little pumpkins,” said President Kayla Houle.
The club traveled to its first regional meeting at Oak Ridge
High School in El Dorado Hills to learn more about the goals of FHA-HERO and
the responsibilities of the leadership team.
FHA-HERO was founded in 1945 and
its mission is to promote personal growth and development through family and
consumer science. While also focusing on the multiple roles of family member,
wage earner and community members developing skills for life through character
development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communication;
practical knowledge and career preparation. The BH Chapter is under the
direction of BH Teacher & FHA-HERO Advisor Suzi Schneider.
The Chapter
meets monthly in the Home Economics classroom at Bret Harte High School and is
open for all students attending Bret Harte. For more information contact
