Perry Lecompton High School: Activities

FCL Brings Closure to a Busy Fall Semester

by Rita Lesser

Members of Family and Community Leaders have had the opportunity to participate in numerous Fall events. There are currently 77 members, and many of them have donated much time and effort to help the club be successful as a service organization. Members kick-started the year by sponsoring Homecoming Parade and Clean-up. Students then became occupied with providing childcare for monthly PTO meetings for both Perry and Lecompton Elementary Schools, daytime and evening childcare for Parent Teacher Conferences at both elementary schools, and evening childcare for musical programs. In October, members successfully sponsored a book drive at PLHS to help collect books for the Perry Elementary Book Exchange. In November, members were busy planning and organizing the annual Dinner Theater and the newly reinstated Vocational Technical Dodgeball Scholarship Fundraiser.

During the month of December, members made and delivered cookies to Lecompton for their Community Holiday Celebration, and they decorated 3 trees for the Holidays at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

In addition to all of these activities, throughout the semester members have been serving as mentors three days a week at Perry Elementary School. The Fall semester has proven to be very rewarding for many, and members are looking forward to Spring semester activities.
