FHA Club gets all 'fired up-
The Future Homemakers of America (FHA) at
Forsyth Central High School have begun working
on this year’s chapter project, “Focus On
Children.” This year’s project is part of a national
event called the STAR events (Students Taking
Actions with Recognition). Three students will
compete with this project on the regional level and
hopefully advance to the state and national levels.
The project chosen this year concentrated on
home fire safety for children. Students Jessica
Cole, Kayla Nolan and Tara Sakai developed the
project based on their concern for children. They
chose the theme “Get Fired Up On Home Fire
Safety.” The three high school students have spent
several days and putting in long hours trying to
educate children, adults, the community and them-

selves on this issue.
To educate the children, the students arranged for
the Forsyth County Fire Department to help them
present information to the children of Cumming
Elementary. The children were taught common fire
safety techniques such as “stop, drop and roll.”
The highlight for the children was the tour of the
fire truck. The three FHA members educated the
adults and community by presenting their project
to parents at the town hall meeting held in the
school auditorium and handing out fire safety bags
to parents at a local business chain and the FCHS
faculty. u
The girls will present their project on the regional
level, which will be held at Madison County High
School.
