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:

Kitchen – Hot Lunch & Breakfast

#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 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.

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

Kitchen

*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.

Kitchen

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.

Kitchen

*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!

Kitchen

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

Athletics

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

Athletics

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

be redirected through the Athletic Director and coaches.

Fees and physical completion

Athletics

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

Athletics

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.

One-Act PlayTerri Eagan - Director

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.

One-Act

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.

Speech Terri Egan – Head Coach

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.

Speech

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.

National Honor SocietyDiana Fuhrman – Advisor

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.

NHS

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.

NHS

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.

NHS

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 co-

curricular 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.

Music – High SchoolEric Bergstedt - Director

Strength of the Co-curricular◦ Percentage of total school population participating in music◦ Numbers are maintaining or growing◦ Accompanist who is in the school ◦ Competitive with surrounding schools in spite of some disadvantages in terms of time and

numbers ◦ Adequate funding for instrument purchase/repair.◦ Strong support from administration both financially and with an active presence at concerts

and events. ◦ Good working relationship between myself and elementary music teacher (feeder program)◦ Daily rehearsals, this is far superior to an every other day approach to class time.

  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.

Music – High School

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. ◦ Keep numbers high for 5th grade band through introduction to band in 4th grade◦ Strive to achieve high levels of success at Regional festivals with a number of students making the

state festival each year.◦ Have 1 or more students make All-State band or choir each year

Accomplishments during the past three years◦ 60-70 entries in the Young Musician’s Festival each of the last 2 years.◦ 1 or more All-state participants every year except 2010◦ 5 or more state participating events every year

Co-curricular goals for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 ◦ Maintain number of entries in YMF without a decline in quality◦ Increase state participant entries though increased portion of time dedicated to festival work◦ Maintain All-state participation and increase sight-reading to improve students chances of being

selected. ◦ Maintain or increase total student numbers in all ensembles. ◦ Increase level difficulty of music for high school ensembles

Purpose of Kids Chorus Instill a life-long love of musical performance Give students the opportunity to learn and perform with others who love to sing Experience taking pride in working toward excellence as a choral performing group and as individual

performers Provide additional vocal training with vocal health a priority Learn choral basics such as balance, blend, expression, vocal line, intonation, performance protocol Give students additional practice in reading music and sight-reading new material Instill confidence to sing solos and in small ensembles in our school, the community and churches Train students to be future leaders in 6-12 Enderlin Area choral organizations and as individual

performers Prepare the 5 & 6 grade members’ ensembles and individual vocal entries for the the Young

Musicians Festival Sing choral music at a level of difficulty time doesn’t allow in the general music class (curriculum

requirements)   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.

Music – ElementaryStephanie Hoy - Director

Strength of Kids Chorus Members take pride in their accomplishments when working toward excellence as a performing group 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.

Music - Elementary

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 taught in

Enderlin, 32 of which are members of the Enderlin FFA, the North Dakota FFA Association and the National FFA Organization.

    Strengths - A diverse mix of members who have interests and career goals in several different

areas of agriculture. - Members who participate in Local, District, State and National activities and events. - Member who are excited about the FFA and what it has to offer - Community support - Administrative support - School and faculty support

FFABob Moller - Advisor

Weaknesses - A lack of participation and membership by all students enrolled in Ag Education

classes. - Lack of desire to excel or take leadership roles. - FFA members involved in other activities that take their time and energy. - Lack of commitment by all members   Plans to Change Weaknesses - Encourage more participation in FFA activities - More emphasis on leadership and citizenship - Work with other programs so members can participate in more than one activity - Encourage members to excel in their chosen activity areas     Plans to Strengthen - Encourage more member involvement in more activities - Encourage community development and community service activities - Encourage leadership and citizenship activities - Continue to support and work with other local CTE programs

FFA

Accomplishments during the past three years - A member named as an American Star Farmer candidate - Members named state proficiency winners - Members named as State Star Farmer finalist and winners - Member qualifies and performs in the National FFA talent event - Members earn their American FFA Degree - Members earn their State FFA Degree     Goals for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 - Have at least one member earn their state FFA degree each year - Have at least one member earn their American FFA degree each year - Have at least one member complete an application for a proficiency

area each year - Have a member run for a state FFA office - Qualify a team and/or individuals for a national CDE

FFA

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

FBLATom Farnham - Advisor

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.

FBLA

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.

FBLA

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

FBLA

Plans or Changes to Address the Weaknesses of the Co-curricular 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.

FBLA

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.

FBLA

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.

FBLA

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.

FCCLASharon Lindeman - Advisor

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).

FCCLA

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.

FCCLA

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 T-shirts 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.

FCCLA

Purpose of Activity: We have successfully produced a yearbook for the last year of my advisement.

  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.

ENODAKStephanie Hoy - Advisor

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.

ENODAK

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 Banner Ads
