I understand my child is a member of the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)club at Potomac Falls High School. FCCLA offers the opportunity for students to participate in competitive & leadership events at the FCCLA Conference on June 27 - July 3. I understand that my child will be participating in the FCCLA National Conference. The total cost of the trip is approximately $1,200. The cost includes transportation, hotel, and FCCLA registration fees. All meals are not included so your child will need additional spending money. We will have fundraisers to help offset costs. If the fees create a financial hardship for your family, please contact us immediately so that we can try and find assistance and scholarships if available. (These are not guaranteed.)

White slip on vans will be shown in examples. Casual Sandal Comfortable sandal to walk in, and wear to pool/water activities.

7 White Collared Button Up A white collared button up is needed for business sessions and competition. You will wear this on a number of occasions. You will need 2 of these, ESPECIALLY if you don t have a dress. Black Dressy Bottom You will wear this with the FCCLA blazer and white button up shirt.

9 Casual Summer Dress Something a little nicer to wear out to a nice dinner. Bathing Suit Plan to bring one or two bathing suits as we can use the hotel pool and there are a few tubing/lake options nearby that we will likely take advantage of. Because this trip is for an extended period of time with weather that is extremely hot (average temperature of 86*- 92*) you will need to bring extra clothing to ensure you are prepared for activities as they present themselves. With that said, some items (think casual summer dress) do not need multiple options, please pack wisely as you will be responsible for paying for any overweight or additional baggage fees.
