The document summarizes a Family and Consumer Sciences in-service day held at West Forest High School on October 9, 2009. Over 20 teachers attended the event, exceeding the expected turnout of 4-6 people. The event included presentations from guest speakers on FACS topics, a technology update, and stories from students about their FCCLA involvement. Teachers also viewed display boards and were encouraged to sponsor FCCLA chapters. The day ended with a lunch prepared by 5th period students in the elementary faculty room.
