Well... it's cold out there...but at Eisenhower High School, we are thankful for the summer garden grown by Mr. Roderick Gregg's Ag Science students last summer.  After the garden harvest, the produce was given to Mrs. Suzanne Walker's Food Science students.  From Zucchini to Tomatoes to Peppers to Carrots to Sunflower Seeds are just some of the produce and food that was grown by the IKE Agriculture Science students.  Recently, the Agriculture Science program got a new name and sign... "The Farm".

Here is a recipe for Green Salsa Verde that IKE Food Science Students made with the green tomatoes picked from the garden grown by IKE Ag Science students.  Try this recipe when you have lots of green tomatoes on hand!

This is the theme for FCCLA this year.  FCCLA stands for Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America.  It is a  youth organization that focuses on leadership, community service, networking, attaining essential college and career-ready job skills, making friendships and networking with other members across the region, state and national levels.  

Eisenhower High School had 22 members, 2 advisers, and 1 guest attended the Region 7 FCCLA Regional Meeting at Civic Center in Selah, WA.  The members that attended this regional meeting were:  Samara Hargraves-Escober, Roselyn Sanchez, Haritz Merlos Tello, Jasmine Haynie, Carissa Quesnell, Carynn Miller, Annabelle Betts, Odalia Lopez, Olivia Fuentes, Camila Carrillo, Ethiel Mercado, Kimberly Zapata, Xander Garibay, Zuleyka Medina, Jeanette Arenas, Marco Perez, Briana Lujano, Maya Martinez, Aracely Martinez, Riley Baker, Jolette Ibanez,and Jaqualyn Conright. 

Members participated in leadership training, evaluator training for the upcoming competitive events, professional dress presentation, public speaking, running for regional or state officer positions, FCCLA trivia games, FCCLA Cheers and scholarship raffle.  Also, several community service projects were presented at the meeting for members to participate in during this year.   One community service project was a canned food drive for a local food bank and a recipe submission contest that would prevent many of the common food allergies. FCCLA members from region 7 attended the 2022 FCCLA National Leadership Conference (NLC) in San Diego, CA.  Nathalie Martinez was recognized for earning a Silver Medal in the Chapter Service Display competitive event.  Three members were recognized for earning their 2021-22 Power of One Certificate at FCCLA NLC:  Nathalie Martinez, Bethany Carter, and Evangeline Knerr.

Eisenhower High School FCCLA members had a great time learning more about FCCLA, its programs, and ways to engage and be involved in FCCLA at the chapter, regional, state, and national levels.
