Camelback ninth-grader qualifies for FCCLA Nationals; district hears travel request
Summary
Jessica Timm, a ninth grader at Camelback High School, qualified for FCCLA Nationals in Washington, D.C.; the district received a public comment and staff summarized the student's project and qualification.
During the public comment portion of the April 14 meeting, Lindsey Woolsey, CTE coordinator for Kingman Unified, introduced Danielle Scroggins and student Jessica Timm to present on FCCLA. Jessica told the board she earned third place overall at the Arizona State Leadership Conference in "Focus on Children, Level Two" and qualified for FCCLA Nationals in Washington, D.C., July 6–10.
Danielle Scroggins described FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America), told the board how the program supports early childhood education students and introduced Jessica's project, which focused on supporting fine and gross motor skill development in preschoolers. Jessica said working with preschoolers reinforced her interest in a pediatric career and that attending Nationals would provide additional experience and learning.
Lindsey Woolsey framed the appearance as a public request for out-of-state travel for the student to attend Nationals; the transcript records the presentation but does not document a board vote on travel authorization at this meeting.
