Sidney High School FCCLA Students Attend Leadership Conference in Bozeman, MT
Bozeman, MT, March 19-20, 2026 – Jaecee Pelvit and Payton Bauer from Sidney High School attended the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) 2026 State Leadership Conference (SLC) in Bozeman, MT, March 19-20, 2026. FCCLA’s 2026 SLC drew over 610 members, advisers, and supporters from across the state with opportunities for personal development, career exploration, and community service. The event was made possible through a sponsorship by the Montana State University College of Education, Health and Human Development.
Throughout SLC, attendees participated in a variety of activities. The keynote speaker was Mike Hall, and workshop session presenters included Chef Eduardo Garcia of Montana Mex, and Lindsey Cobble and Brooklynn Gross of FCCLA's Leadership Training Team. Workshop sessions focused on a variety of topics, including personal development, leadership training, career exploration and development, and physical and mental health resources.
While at the conference, students competed in career-focused Skill Demonstration Events, testing their knowledge in culinary arts. Also held during the conference were STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) Events, where students showcased their efforts and accomplishments in areas including career development, community service, and personal growth. Events also included student projects in areas related specifically to Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) content, including child development, nutrition and wellness, personal finance, fashion design, Interior design, and career development.
One component of the conference activities included the Montana ProStart/FCCLA culinary and management competitions held at Gallatin College. Culinary students from seven Montana schools competed in both culinary and management competitions, with industry experts critiquing their performance. The ProStart program serves secondary students in Montana schools and is sponsored by the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation through a partnership with the Montana Retailers Association, preparing secondary students for a smooth transition into the hospitality industry.
Additional activities for conference attendees included participation in a series of career preparation workshops, chapter leader training, and an FCS Career Connection training, comprised of a series of three focused trainings designed to help students increase overall career preparedness as well as explore potential careers related to fields of early childhood education and culinary arts. Professionals from all across the state supported this training by engaging with attendees during the training and providing feedback regarding challenges designed to simulate workplace situations.
Serving others was another major component of the conference. Participants created welcome kits to benefit the clients of Haven in the Service Room, as well as welcome home baskets to support those transitioning to domestic independence after a stay at Haven. Attendees also volunteered during the Service Road Trip at Haven. Additionally, attendees donated over $1000 to Haven through the Miracle Moment collections.

The Culinary 2 class is currently in their Dairy unit and had a special visitor come in from Crooked Creek Farms, a small raw-dairy farm operating in Sidney, MT! Hayley Darnielle spoke to the students about regulations, products, and more. She even brought in equipment and free samples of milk, fresh yogurt, and raw cream for butter making. We greatly appreciate her for dedicating her time, product, and knowledge to the younger generations!

There have been a few questions brought about by social media regarding a possible school shooting threat. This is not true and there is no threat to any building at this time. The school district takes any and all potential threats seriously. When receiving information about a possible threat, the school conducts an investigation to determine whether or not the allegations are credible or even possible. In the event that a threat is identified as credible and possible, we will immediately contact law enforcement and follow all district lockdown procedures. If the threat happens outside of school hours, and law enforcement is unable to locate and detain the individual(s) related to the threat, the school district will postpone school until law enforcement is able to locate and detain the individual(s) involved. This information would be communicated through all social media outlets, emails, texts and phone calls.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. If you have any information about a possible threat to any of our schools, students or staff members, please contact a building principal or the district superintendent. In the event we have information and confirmation about a credible threat, we will communicate our actions immediately to law enforcement, parents and the public.
