
Lack of common planning time for curriculum
and MTSS
◦ We used some inservice time to address these issues
and that has helped

No support/recovery program during the day
for students in grades 7-12
◦ Started “Home Room” once a week to touch base with
all students in grades 7-12
◦ Use first 15 minutes of the day for students to get
help from teachers
◦ Start after school activities one half hour after school
dismissal so students can get help from teachers

Lack of credit recovery classes

Lack of gifted programming

Student section placement
◦ Utilize North Dakota Center for Distance Education
(NDCDE)
◦ Consider Alternative School
◦ Dual credit classes over ITV are available for high
school students
◦ MathOlympic after school option for middle school
students
◦ Lexia Reading Core5 to advance lower elementary
students
◦ Utilize Viewpoint to use data to help determine proper
placement

Enderlin Area School Foodservice
Department strengths:
*On May 10, 2013 we had a DPI review/inspection to qualify us
for the 6 cent reimbursement. If our menus, recipes, nutritional
analysis met the USDA guidelines & requirements we would be
eligible for the reimbursement and we passed.
*On November 6, 2013 we had our DPI review/inspection which
is done very 3 years. Stephanie Miller from DPI spent the day
reviewing the administrative records and the records for all
policies for foodservice. She also reviewed our fruit & vegetable
grant program. She did a nutritional analysis of all menus &
recipes to check to see if we are in compliance with all of the
USDA regulations for the 3 different age groups of students for
breakfast & lunch. She did onsite reviewing of safety & sanitation
& monitoring of meals served & proper amounts & food groups
on each tray. 2 areas we need to correct were:





#1: Offer water to students at breakfast daily, we are doing that.
#2: Costs to serve High School students daily fruit/vegetable
snack needs to come from a source other than the fruit &
vegetable grant money we receive.
Great review, 2 simple fixes to 2 minor issues!
*We had our 2 yearly Sanitarian inspections on October 4, 2013
& January 15, 2014. These are surprise visits meaning we do not
know when they are coming. All sanitation & HACCP regulations
were in compliance for both reviews, no violations cited.
*Salad Bar. This year we purchased a salad bar that we set up &
offer to all students & staff daily along with the regular lunch
meal. By offering the many different vegetables on the salad bar
it makes it much easier for our menus to meet the USDA daily &
weekly vegetable requirements Many of the students & staff
really appreciate & enjoy it.

*Salad Bar. This year we purchased a salad bar that we set up & offer to

for our menus to meet the USDA daily & weekly vegetable requirements
Many of the students & staff really appreciate & enjoy it.
The one challenge with this is the extra staff time for daily vegetable
preparation, salad bar set up & takedown & weighing & recording of all
amounts of each item used daily. We are handling it quite well.
It is also hard to be able to store all of the extra produce that we need to
order weekly for our salad bar in our walk-in cooler. Often we have
boxes stacked & stored on the floor which is a violation.
BUT, it has helped our cooler by the purchase of the new milk cooler this
year which holds 4 more crates of milk than the old one!
*Breakfast program: Average # of students served daily for
2012-2013: 32
2013-2014: 22
*Lunch program: Average # of students served daily for
2012-2013: 235
2013-2014: 224







*Snack & beverage sales: Students in grades 5-12 are able to purchase
from 8:00-8:40 daily & during their lunch times. They appreciate it & it
brings in good revenue for our program.
*An Ala Carte lunch meal choice is offered one day each week to our
High School students.
Department Concerns:
*Competition for our High School eaters has always been an ongoing
concern due to our open campus. Something to continue to monitor.
*In the past declining enrollment has always been a concern which can
mean bringing in less revenue. And of course food costs keep rising. We
continue to use as many commodities options as possible.
*Lunchroom atmosphere:
2 staff members assist and supervise our group of Elementary students
grades Kindergarten- 4th, approximately 115 students. We assist with
cutting, buttering, condiments, general supervising, behavior
monitoring, table washing and lining them up to return to class.
Challenging at times especially days when there is only 1 staff member
available to help, but this can’t be helped. We do the best we can.




Department Challenges:
*The last 2 years have been a big challenge with us having to
implement & follow the new USDA regulations for calories,
vegetables, fruits & meats. Next year will be an even bigger
challenge for us to write menus & find foods & products for our
menus to be in compliance with the new sodium restrictions.
They will get continue to get tougher as the years progress as
the levels will continue to decrease.
* Another new USDA regulation that goes into effect for SY
2014-2015 is sales or distributing of snacks & beverages. Each
item has to be in compliance by the whole grain has to be 50% or
more, <200 calories, <35% of calories from fat, <10% of calories
from saturated fat, 0 grams of transfat, < 230 mg of sodium &
<35% weight from total sugar.
Along with the items we sell to the students this will include the
snacks that FCCLA sells, After School Program snacks, pop &
candy machines & any other snacks provided or sold by any
group during the school day.

*When our menus are analyzed by DPI the nutritional analysis of
all condiments such as ketchup, mustard, dressings, taco sauce,
nugget dip, margarine, sour cream, miracle whip, etc. have to be
included in the daily calorie, fat & sodium guidelines for each
age group. At present we allow the students to use as much of
these items as they wish. Beginning next year we cannot. We will
have to portion out all of these condiments in cups with lids or
use pre portioned packets. But each student will be limited to
what fits into the calorie guidelines for their age group. The first
option of portion cups will be an expense of cups & lids & the
amount of staff time to this will be an issue? How will we & who
will do this??? Pre packed condiments can be very costly. Either
way when we limit, students will have to pay to purchase any
extras. It’s amazing to see the amount of condiments that we go
through on a daily basis. Currently we record daily usage of all
condiments & now they are all mostly in bulk which doesn’t take
as long as it will to be counting before & after numbers &
recording of all packets and/or cups next year. More staff time,
yikes!

Equipment & Maintenance Needs:
*Ceramic tiles on kitchen wall: several have fallen off & need to be put back on.
*Clean ceramic floor tiles and regrout & seal.
*Pillar in lunchroom: needs repair.
*Walk-in freezer: The walk-in freezer is old and was purchased used many years
ago.
*Stove/ovens: The 10 burner stove/oven and convection ovens were purchased in
1987 and thus may need to be replaced in the future. We have been having
increased problems with the bottom convection oven this year.
*Repaint or replace ceiling in kitchen. Metal stripping of kitchen ceiling rusty and
worn in many spots. Water damage on some ceiling tiles.
*Storeroom: HACCP and state regulations say that the dry storage area
temperature needs to be 50-70 degrees and it is warmer than that at times.
*Steamtable & front counter need to have the old caulking peeled off & they need
to be resealed with caulking that is made for high heat areas.
*Not being able to run food waste down the garbage disposal the past months has
been extra work of bagging up several bags of food waste daily & hauling to
dumpster. Bags are often heavy & takes extra time & increased bag usage as
opposed to using garbage disposal. We are looking forward to this problem being
resolved.

II. Strengths / Concerns
Strengths
Competitive level of play at the varsity level this past year.
We continue to have a strong group of coaches at the lower
levels, Grades 3-8. Experience, knowledge, skills are quite
evident from this group of coaches.
Support and communication between coaches at all levels.
Availability of programs. C-squad, commitment by district when
numbers dictate a need. Elementary programs.
Co-ops continue to provide opportunities that may otherwise not
be available.
Facilities – practice times and facility
Equipment, commitment to update and provide resources.
Knowledgeable coaches, professionalism, community respect.
Availability of weight room








Commitment to Sportsmanship
Parent satisfaction, numbers of
concerns/complaints continue to be very low.
Trainer services.
Player development 8-12 grade
Improved schedules, play teams our size
Higher number of multi-sport athletes
coaching staff youth + veteran
Open dialogue between School Board and
Athletics – Board Report







Concerns
Participation numbers vary, JH and C squad
Lack of commitment to strength training use
of weight room.
lack of fan support adult and student, no
consistent booster club
school pride, school spirit
Chain of Communication. – all complaints
must be redirected through the Athletic
Director and coaches.
Fees and physical completion









III. Plan to address Concerns – What we need to do.
Coaches develop an organized plan to promote weight
room use by athletes.
Promote acceleration and other available training
programs.
Continue pre-season news articles relaying information
regarding practice, physicals, contact information, travel
plans, etc.
Continue promotional activities with elementary
Continue promotional activities with parents, adults, fans,
hs students
Continue school spirit address with staff
Communication will be stressed at Fall Meeting
TV Monitor in HS Hallway- online broadcast of games, list
activities






IV. Issues in Athletics
Sportsmanship – commitment to supervision,
stress importance at mandatory
sportsmanship meetings, coaches meetings
Football division assignment
Promote participation in all programs at all
levels
Spring scheduling
Dual activity guidelines for coaches and
athletes

PURPOSES/STRENGTHS: This is a NDHSAA
competition event, which typically involves 20-30
students in grades 9-12; occasionally specific roles
have required the use of younger students in grades
7-8. The One Act play provides education in both
acting and technical aspects of theater.


CONCERNS/SOLUTIONS: One concern is being
competitive with schools that offer drama and speech
classes during the school year and being able to
teach skills that we are not able to cover in a short
rehearsal process. We currently deal with this by
offering a ¼-credit drama class in the summer.

Because students have many fall activities available, it
might be helpful to have a common
rehearsal/practice schedule for all fall events to allow
coaches and students to better plan their time.


ACCOMPLISHMENTS/GOALS: The Enderlin One Act
Team has placed in the top three in the Regional
Competition 13 times in the past 15 years and has
twice won the state championship; our students have
been consistently awarded both individual and team
acting awards. Our goal is to continue to offer high
quality performances with a maximum number of
students used in presentations.

PURPOSE/STRENGTHS: Competitive speech is
sponsored statewide by the NDHSAA and
nationally by the National Forensics League. Each
year 25-45 Enderlin Students in grades 7-12
participate in competitive speech. Enderlin also
co-ops with Maple Valley, which averages 5-10
participating students each year. Participation in
the varied events that competitive speech offers
allows students to improve their organizational,
interpersonal, and public speaking skills while
building their confidence in social and work
situations.



CONCERNS: Scheduling successfully around other
activities continues to be a challenge but is one that
continues to be met with the cooperation and assistance of
administration. Larger teams have meant more funds
needed to maintain a competitive season.
ACCOMPLISHMENT/GOALS: The EMV speech team has
consistently placed either first or second in an extremely
competitive region for over seven years. Several students
have won individual state championships and qualified for
national competition, and the team won its first state
championship in 2014. Our goal is to continue building
the team while maintaining a high quality of performance.


Purpose:
To create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to
promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character in the
students of secondary schools.
Membership in the National Honor Society (NHS) is both an honor and a
responsibility. The motto, NOBLESSE OBLIGE, means “nobility obligates”. It infers
that those of high standings have an obligation to behave honorably, generously
and responsibly to others. The idea that one has an obligation to use his or her
talents, skills, and knowledge for the betterment of others is the cornerstone for
NHS projects and activities.
Membership is based on scholastic achievement, leadership, community service
and character. Membership is open to juniors and seniors. The minimum
scholastic average is a 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale) established by the local faculty council
(Minimum GPA at national is 3.0 and can be adjusted by the local NHS).
Students who meet the scholastic requirement are then eligible for consideration
on the basis of outstanding leadership, community service and character rather
than on the basis of grades alone. Students who are interested may complete a
student questionnaire form for the faculty council to review. Merely completing a
questionnaire does not guarantee selection.







Selection for anything implies that one is not only within a range
of eligibility by whatever criteria are applicable, but that the
person must be chosen from among those eligible. NHS strives
to recognize the total student: one who excels in all areas.
Membership therefore is more than an honor; it incurs
responsibility and an obligation to demonstrate those
outstanding and superior qualities that resulted in the selection.
Number of Current Participants:
Eleven
6 seniors, 5 juniors
Projected Number of Participants:
This varies year to year. Some classes may have many students
at a 3.50 GPA who receive a questionnaire and other classes may
have very few students at a 3.50 GPA. All students who complete
a questionnaire may not be selected to NHS membership.


Strengths of Co-curricular:
Membership is based not on grades (GPA) alone but also based on leadership, community
service and character. It provides a training ground to develop leadership. Students are able
to be role models to other students. Students are selected for membership into NHS.




Concerns of Co-curricular:
A concern is the financial funding of NHS. Students have been involved in other organizations
and as a result of that involvement have been selected to be in NHS. Thus no dues are collected
for this group. Various projects do require some money to be carried out by the chapter
(sunflower pageant & pickup &/or
float in parade, and induction ceremony). Because of less money available, attendance at the
State NHS conference has not occurred the last several years. Students must incur more of the
cost themselves to attend the conference (meals, motel, registration). In the past when money
was available, student registration ($25 per student) was paid by the chapter. Students paid
for motel and meals themselves. The school provided the mini bus or van, which was driven by
the advisor to the conference. Also the chapter has not paid state dues, which increased from
$20 per year (06-07 year) to $60/ year (2013-14). To remain nationally affiliated, dues are
$85.00/year. If a chapter is not nationally affiliated, the chapter is not eligible to have
members apply for a NHS scholarship. Low membership numbers limit the kinds and number
of activities a chapter does each year.




It may be stated the school does not fund organizations. NHS is different from other
organizations. Any student cannot become a NHS member. A student in NHS is not able to
pay dues and thus become a member as in other organizations. A student is selected after
completing a questionnaire and faculty review of the questionnaire. As stated before,
completing the questionnaire is not a guarantee to NHS membership. A student’s leadership,
community service and character are important aspects consider regarding membership in
NHS.
Enrollment:
Numbers are limited but no quota exists on the number in the chapter. GPA
(3.50 out of 4.00) determines eligibility; after that leadership, community service and character
determine selection. Some classes have fewer students at a 3.50 GPA. Students do not have to
complete the questionnaire. Students who have received alcohol or tobacco violations are
aware they may not be selected and often choose not to complete the questionnaire. If in the
organization and a violation occurs, they are warned and a second violation would result in
dismissal from NHS.



What the School needs to do:
Providing financial support to the organization on a regular (yearly basis) and a set amount
would be very beneficial to NHS. The school does not do enough for the upper end of our
student body. A large amount of money is spent on the low achieving students. This is an
organization of high achieving students. They are selected to this organization and their
involvement efforts and GPA’s should be acknowledged and rewarded. This could be
accomplished by financially funding this organization – suggested amount $200 per year.


Plans or Changes to Address Weaknesses of Co-curricular
As gaming monies have decreased over the years, letters asking for donation from the Enderlin Alumni
Association and VFW are no longer written. The group has helped the Enderlin Hardware Hank store do end of
the year inventory. The owners greatly appreciated the assistance and have paid NHS for their help. This event
is on a year to year basis and may in the future not exist as an option for receiving operating money. The
amount paid does vary from year to year depending on the number of members helping with the inventory.
There are already five other groups doing fund raising in the school. By trying to add another group doing fund
raising for operating expenses, it spreads even thinner the amount of money given to each group. Funding
remains and will continue to be a challenge.



Plans to Strengthen the Co-curricular
By members participating in a variety of activites, there will continue to be the emphasis on volunteering and
doing community service. These activities will stress the importance of doing for others.




Accomplishments During the Past Three Years
-Hosting Little Ms & Mr Sunflower pageant and parade entry
-Co-sponsoring two blood drives (October & April) with FBLA
-Sponsoring a spring food drive for the Ransom County food pantry
-Assisting the Enderlin Fine Arts Association with activities at Santa Day
-State NHS project – selling daffodils for the American Cancer Society (project
discontinued by North Dakota American Cancer Society in 2013-14)



Co-curricular Goals for 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17
Goals for the next three years are to continue doing and expanding community service projects for the
community and/or county. Establishing or obtaining a yearly and steady source of income for the operating
expenses of the NHS chapter.

Purpose of Activity
The purpose of music as a co-curricular activity is to develop student’s
abilities in the area of music, to enhance those abilities and to provide
students with an opportunity for pride in their accomplishments. The
purpose is also to develop in students the ability to express themselves
through music. This is done through high school vocal and instrumental
contests, junior high vocal and instrumental contests, and honor
ensembles including Barnes County Music, All-State band and choir,
NDSU Honor Choir, and NSU/VCSU Honor band.
Number of Current Participants and Co-curricular Structure
Currently all students in band or choir are expected to participate in cocurricular activities. This translates into 27 students in high school
band(9-12), 44 students in high school choir(9-12), 17 in junior high
band (7-8), 37 in junior high choir(7-8), 25 in 6th grade gen
music/choir, 10 in 6th grade band, and 11 in 5th grade band.

Concerns or weaknesses of the Co-curricular
◦
◦
◦
◦
Adequate time for music classes. Currently almost all classes are half periods. This is
acceptable but not ideal.
When the scheduled time is conflicting with gym creating an athlete or musician mentality.
This wasn’t a problem this year but has been in the past.
Class conflicts at high school level with band/choir time, varies by year.
Accompanist fatigue, between junior high and High school we are preparing and performing
over 100 pieces each year. When Gretchen Hoy starts reducing her workload, an alternative
will have to be found.



Plans or Changes to Address the Weaknesses of the Co-curricular during the next three to five
years
◦ Continue to work with principles with regard to scheduling and avoiding scheduling conflicts .
Continue to recruit other accompanist to assist with program.
Plans to Strengthen the Co-curricular
◦
Continue to encourage and increase participation in young musician activities.

Number of Current Participants and Co-curricular Structure
There were 22 kids in grades 3-6 who participated in Children’s Choir in 2012-2013, and 20 kids who
participated in the 2013-2014 school year. There were 10 students in grades 5-6 who participated in the
Young Musicians Festival, which was held t Central Cass. Practice times are held after school on Tuesdays and
Thursdays and run through the months of September through February.

As of this year, the students have successfully been singing 2-3 part choral music.
Gain confidence when performing in chorus as well as individually
Gain more confidence in their daily lives and confidence while performing in front of an audience
Given many performance opportunities
Given opportunities to reach their potential as musicians
Given more experience in sight-reading new material






Concerns of Co-Curricular Music
Scheduling conflicts (The elementary sports practice schedule is the same as ours. This makes it hard for
students to “Choose” which activity they want to participate in.)
We have more younger kids (grades 3-4) than older kids (grades 5-6) involved in children’s choir.
Lack of interest in the spring
With a new director, less students participated in the last 2 years.






Plans to Address the Concerns of the Co-Curricular during the next three to five years
Work with the other elementary coaches and work out an agreement on a combined practiced schedule. One
that will work for both children’s Choir and Sports.
As students adjust to me as their new music teacher, hopefully children’s choir will gain more students in years
to come.
Plans to Strengthen Music Co-Curricular
Develop and maintain a yearly, predictable rehearsal and performance schedule. Reward the students with a
yearly Children’s Choir tour to Fargo and other locations.





Accomplishments of Kids Chorus during the past three years:
Successfully singing2-3-part choral arrangements which are more advanced and challenging
Perform at the K-5 Enderlin Area Christmas concert each year
Presented Christmas concerts at West Acres by the fountain and at Sheyenne Crossings in
Fargo for the past four years
Sang for various community events for the past two years. (Kriskindle Fest and Maryhill Manor)


In past years, the Fifth and Sixth Grade members of Kids Chorus have participated with
success at the Young Musicians Festivals. They have entered vocal solos, duets, trios and larger
ensemble selections.




Co-Curricular Goals for 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16
With rehearsal times secured, Kids Chorus would continue to contribute important
performance options for the Elementary students in the District. If the burden of constantly
dealing with scheduling is lifted from our Co-Curricular music organizations, our membership
will continue to grow and the level of excellence will also continue to improve as we are able to
retain our older members. Children’s Choir will allow for students to grow as a musician, grow
as a member of the community, and grow with pride and school involvement.

Purpose of Activity
The FFA mission/purpose is to make a positive difference in the lives of students
by developing their potential for leadership, personal growth and career success
through agricultural education.
Number of Current Participants and Co-curricular Structure
There are approximately 60 students; grades 8 – 12, enrolled the Ag classes

Purpose of Activity
Article II of the National FBLA Bylaws state that “The purpose of FBLA is
to provide, as an integral part of the instructional program, additional
opportunities for secondary students (grades 9-12) in business and/or
business related fields to develop vocational and career supportive
competencies and to promote civic and personal responsibilities.” It
goes on to list nine goals which are to:
develop competent, aggressive business leadership;
strengthen the confidence of students in themselves and their work;
create more interest in and understanding of American business
enterprise;
encourage members in the development of individual projects which
contribute to the improvement of home, business and community;
develop character, prepare for useful citizenship, and foster patriotism;
encourage and practice efficient money management;
encourage scholarship and promote school loyalty;
assist students in the establishment of occupational goals; and
facilitate the transition from school to work




As in the classroom, the degree to which each individual
member chooses to participate determines how well these
goals are met. Completing levels of the Business
Achievement Awards program, holding a state or local
office, and working on projects for the state conference
will help student meet these goals.
Within our chapter, we focus on the goals of business
leadership, citizenship, character, and teamwork.
Number of Current Participants and Co-curricular
Structure
This past year we had 17 paid members in FBLA. This was
down from 21 the previous year. Our goal is to have at
least 20 members next year. We will have 7 chapter
officers next year – president, vice president, secretary,
treasurer, reporter, historian, and web master.




Strength of the Co-curricular
Our membership has remained fairly steady over the past few years (13
members has been the low and 21 the high). Members must complete a
level of the Business Achievement Awards (BAA) or complete a project
for competition in the state conference. This is a local policy I have had
in place the last few years and it seems to work well. This year I took
eight students to the state conference. Another member qualified, but
had a conflict with the baseball trip to Florida.
Three of these students completed their Leader level of the BAA which is
the third highest level. Only two people from Enderlin have completed
this level previously, with one of them completing it last year. Even more
exciting is that these three members are juniors this year, so they have
another year to complete the America level which is awarded at the
national conference. Over the last six years we have had 33 members
complete 47 BAA levels.
Another strength of FBLA is that any high school student can be a
member and anyone can be successful in FBLA. You don’t have to be
athletic or gifted academically to be a productive member. You can like
working in groups or prefer to work alone.



Concerns or weaknesses of the Co-curricular
I have very few concerns about FBLA. One that I will mention, though, is
fundraising. It seems like the most successful fundraising projects have
a lot of students involved. Our membership has remained fairly steady,
but our members are usually involved in a lot of other activities from
sports to work commitments to other school organizations. While I
applaud their being involved in activities it does mean we can’t take on
some fundraising projects or that not all members get involved in the
project. Also, there have been more groups doing fundraising than ever
before (both inside the school and outside the school). For example,
three different groups sold pizzas this year. The profit on our pizza
sales over the last few years has dropped from around $1200-1500 to a
low of $640 this year.
As a result of this decline in revenue, students who attended this year’s
state conference had to pay more out of pocket than they had
previously. Also, our reserve has been declining slowly. This money has
been set aside to help pay for students to attend the National Leadership
Conference, should they qualify for that event



Plans or Changes to Address the Weaknesses of the Cocurricular during the next three to five years
We will have an officer training and planning session
sometime in August to get the ball rolling for the next
school year. With an emphasis on recruitment we hope to
increase our membership. This will give us more members
participating in fundraisers, which hopefully will increase
sales. I would also like to find a good “second” fundraiser
to supplement our annual pizza sales. If we can
accomplish this we could possibly build up a reserve to
help pay for future trips to national conferences.
A third goal is to find projects that students will get
excited about participating in. If they have a project at that
state conference they will be more involved in the club and
their enthusiasm might spread to non-members. This in
turn could help our membership grow.




Plans to Strengthen the Co-curricular
We have talked about starting to recruit members
when they are in the 8th grade and working hard
to retain non-graduating current members. Last
year I took two of my classes to Microsoft in
Fargo and invited other FBLA members to come
along.
Also, I am going to encourage members to
participate in projects that could qualify them for
the national conference.
Finally, I am going to discuss with my officers the
possibility of awarding a small scholarship to
graduating members.





Accomplishments during the past three years
As mentioned above, several members have completed various levels of the
national BAA recognition program. In the last three years ten members have
completed the Future level, six have completed the Business level, and four have
completed the Leader level.
Besides the BAA awards above, students have also taken home a 6th place in
Chapter Scrapbook, 7th place in Technology Concepts, and 9th place in Networking
concepts. One thing to keep in mind is that because there are no district or
regional competitions in FBLA and the state conference includes both Class A and
Class B schools, there can be hundreds of students competing in some events.
There are normally over 1,000 students at the state conferences.
We have continued to co-sponsor two blood drives a year with the National Honor
Society and we have held one fund raiser a year for the March of Dimes.
Our annual Pizza Corner fundraiser has raised enough money to keep the cost of
attending the state leadership conference reasonable. Although, this year the
chapter was not able to cover the cost of the hotel rooms or one supper as we
have in the past. I did increase the percentage of the students’ sales that apply
towards these costs, however. Previously they were credited with 10 percent of
their sales and that has been increased to 12 percent. This does, however, leave
less money to cover other chapter expenses.

FCCLA – Family Career and Community Leaders of America, Inc. is a
nonprofit national career and technical student organization for
young and women in Family and Consumer Sciences Education in
public and private schools through grade 12.
The mission of FCCLA is to promote growth and leadership
development through Family and Consumer Sciences Education
focusing on the multiple roles of family member, wage earner, and
community leader, members develop skills for life through:
◦
◦
◦
◦


Character development
Creative and critical thinking
Practical knowledge and
Vocational preparation
We are currently at 15 members in grades 9-12. Numbers will
change from year to year but we have been consistent around 15-20
members.

Our chapters’ strengths are the types and numbers of community service
projects that we are involved in. It is our belief that to be a member of a
community is to be involved. Examples of projects are working with the
local HEART program, selling carnations with proceeds to go to Roger
Maris Cancer Center, among others. Current community service projects
this year of “Paying it Forward” included sponsoring “Wearing Pink for
Breast Cancer Awareness Day” that involved the whole school and much
of the community. Chapter members sold T-shirts and pink ribbons to
honor those dealing with cancer. We also held a 3 point shoot contest
held at half time of basketball games this winter with proceeds of that
going to families with medical needs and giving Hearts day. For
recycling, our chapter is responsible to collect plastic bottles around
school. Our current FCCLA national program is to work with FACTS
(Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety). Chapter members
created a power point to be used at school and in the community
pointed out the dangers of distracted driving and the importance of
wearing seat belts. Another strength is leadership activities. Students
develop and implement their own project for STAR events (competitive
events).

Concerns would be the continuous fundraising that is needed for
projects and trips. Other concerns are keeping projects current and
interesting for chapter members, or trying to find things that all or most
chapter members can involve themselves in. FCCLA is an activity that
can function nicely with any number of participants. Logically speaking,
the more students you have, the more you may accomplish. Even
though it is a chapter, many activities come down to individual
motivation. As far as what we would like from school, we would like
continued support like we have received for many years. Money would
be our biggest issue. In a perfect world, it would be great if we didn’t
have to worry about finances, but that may be part of “real world”
experiences also. It has helped our chapter’s finances to have the
school contribute to state and national expenses for chapter members.
A positive is that the programs and projects in FCCLA are not necessarily
numbers driven. You can do community service projects as always, just
fewer of them and/or with more intensity. We have done several
projects jointly with FFA and FBLA, which have worked out well. What we
ask of the school is continued support as we have appreciated getting
for many years.

Plans to strengthen the chapter are to continue to work primarily with school and community.
We do participate in district, state and national goals and programs. Because we share many of
the same students, we would like to work more with FFA and FBLA. The chapter needs to
remain relevant to students so they continue to “buy into” projects.


Accomplishments during the last three years included being named “Chapter of the Year for
North Dakota”. It was chosen by submitting a report of our chapter’s activities. Our chapter
continues to be proud of student driven projects, their ideas and follow through for community
service. Three years ago we started pink day in honor of breast cancer. Students developed Tshirts to be sold with the proceeds going to Roger Maris Cancer Center. Our chapter has
contributed over $1500 over the past two years. Each year we are building on more student,
community and school involvement. It’s great to see creative thinking in action of how we can
make our project bigger and better! Our continued projects include recycling plastic bottles in
school, working with the local HEART Board for giving hearts day and collecting food for the
Ransom County Food Pantry.


Our goals for the future continue to be providing an avenue for students to take what they
have learned in FACS class and apply it to the real world. It is the hope that these community
service projects instill a feeling of contributing that will continue for a lifetime. Even though
you have a shift in students due to graduation, the success of your program is “catchy” and
new members want to be a part of a successful group. FCCLA is a very adaptable group and
can work with few or many members.

Number of Current Participants and Co-curricular Structure
We have 4 students participating in Enodak 2013-2014 this year. I have visited
with several yearbook advisers in our region and they recommend using a
recruiting method to form a yearbook staff. Then you are able to choose students
that would commit themselves to completing a successful yearbook.
Strength of the Co-curricular Structure
We have produced a full color yearbook for the last five years. Our staff feels that
we have improved the yearbook. The yearbook editors attend a summer workshop
for yearbook publishing provided by Josten’s to learn new methods and begin the
planning stages of the yearbook for that year. Our yearbook sales have been
stabilized for the last two years. To date, we have reached an 80% sales goal.
This is up from the previous year.

Concerns or Weakness of the Co-curricular
It is extremely difficult to communicate with the high school students
since I teach in the elementary. Communication is a key part of running
a successful yearbook program. It would be more beneficial to have
someone in the high school to advise Enodak. A high school staff
member would have more of an opportunity to communicate and
evaluate if the staff members are working on their assignments and be
more informed of the high school schedules and activities. Students
who participate in ENODAK also participate in various other curricular
activities thus making it very difficult to find time to work on the
yearbook in group settings. A lot of the time spent on editing and
developing the yearbook is done by me, not the students.
Plans or Changes to Address the Weaknesses of the Co-curricular during
the next three to five years
Assign a high school staff member to advise Enodak to improve
communication difficulties. Allow for extra time in the school day to
work on the yearbook.
Plans to Strengthen the Co-curricular
 Keep attending summer yearbook workshops to learn new
techniques and methods of producing a successful
yearbook.

Accomplishments during the past five years
 Successfully completing an all-color yearbook. Our main
goal is to make sure every student is in the yearbook at
least three times. Selling more yearbooks each year.
Co-Curricular goals for 2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16
 Improve communication difficulties between staff
members and adviser and produce more sales through
