Nebraska FCCLA presented the Adviser Committed to Excellence (ACE) Award to Tiffany
Fritzinger-Lopez, Fremont chapter advisor.
Nebraska FCCLA presented the Chapter with the 7-Up Award for increased membership to Fremont High School.
“It was a good showing by our Fremont High kids,” said Brad Ryun, SkillsUSA advisor. “I think it
shows the diversity that our students have and their skills.”
FCCLA national qualifiers will compete in San Diego, California in June at the national conference.
SkillsUSA national qualifiers will compete in Atlanta, Georgia in June at the national convention.
“There will be about 8,000 state champions there competing,” Ryun said. “It is a really good chance
for these kids to talk to people from around the country and learn a little bit about their culture and
work hand-in-hand with them on certain projects. It is a huge chance for our kids to grow.”
Ryun noted that SkillsUSA nationals will cost the Fremont chapter between $6,000-$8,000. If anyone
is interested in donating to the organization, they can contact Ryun at brad.ryun@fpsmail or Keith
