[Mo-facs] FW: RACE Into Reading

[Hollingsworth, Christine]

 It's Time to Rev Your Engines!!!

Your FCCLA chapter is invited to participate in the 2007-08 RACE Into
Reading program.

 

RACE Into Reading - Reading About Career Experiences is an interactive
school/community service project between Missouri CTSO members and
elementary students that promotes reading for fun and information.  Now
in its third year, participation in the project allows elementary
students to learn about a variety of career opportunities and allows the
CTSO member to develop leadership skills and serve as a positive role
model for elementary students.  The project is sponsored through
Missouri Career Education and Missouri's Career and Technical Student
Organizations - DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, SkillsUSA, and TSA.

 

RACE Into Reading projects may also be a part of the service-learning
opportunities and before and after school childcare programs.  Tying the
projects to a school/community need and collaboration between staff can
provide additional leadership development opportunities for CTSO
members.  Also, February Career and Technical Education Month is another
excellent opportunity for your chapter to offer fun activities to
promote awareness of careers.

 

All chapters that participate will be recognized at the state leadership
conference.
