As part of a service project aimed at local children and the elderly, the members of Evans High School's Family, Career and Community Leaders of America chapter collected and distributed more than 5,500 Valentine cards to several organizations serving children in Columbia County. As part of the character education program implemented by the group, children in the preschool lab were invited to share valentines with other children during National FCCLA Week.

The officers of Evans High School's Family, Career and Community Leaders of America vowed to continue their outreach and build a better world at the Fall Leadership Conference in Covington, Ga., last fall. They continue to implement long and short-term projects including an effort to build Georgia membership. The Evans High chapter has paid half of the affiliation fees for the first members at Columbia Middle School. Everyone in Evans' Early Childhood Education class is a FCCLA member, and the chapter project Doughnuts for Dues helped more than 100 students pay their dues. The chapter is only three members away from topping last year's 147-member enrollment.
