RULH FCCLA Students Attend Anthony Munoz Youth Leadership Seminar
RULH High School FCCLA students attended the Anthony Munoz Youth Leadership Seminar on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024. Ripley Union Lewis Huntington High School was one of 82 schools in attendance. Students enjoyed motivational speakers during the seminar, and were paired with students from other area high schools to write down their goals for the future. The students also brainstormed ways to make their local communities better. Each school had to select a service project to submit to the foundation by April 2025, and the RULH students chose mental health awareness for their project. Way to go Blue Jays!

- Use your legs to stand up to bullies online.
- Use your feet carefully when leaving tracks online.
