STUARTS DRAFT Simone Marion ran for her first state office in Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) two years ago as a seventh-grader at Stuarts Draft Middle School.
She had joined the organization a year before. I like to think it was because I wanted the opportunity, said Marion, now about to wrap up her freshman year at Stuarts Draft High School. But I really heard it was the funnest club in school.
According to the Stuarts Draft Middle School website, the local chapter of FCCLA is part of a national student-led organization that helps students become leaders and address important personal, family, work and societal issues through family and consumer sciences education.

It was senior night, his final performance at halftime of a high school football game. It also happened to be his first performance of the year at a game s halftime.
One and done, that was the fate of the marching band during this very odd year at Stuarts Draft High School.
