A Smith-Cotton High School student organization that focuses on families is collecting shoes to help people in need around the world.
FCCLA — Family, Career and Community Leaders of America — is a national career and technical organization for students in high school family and consumer sciences education. S-C teacher Amy Smith, who sponsors the group along with fellow FACS instructor Marina Scheiner, said the goal of the group is to teach “leadership in families, the community and careers.”
