Members of the Luverne High School FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) chapter made 32 preschool and elementary students feel like princesses Feb. 28 during the group’s annual “Princess Gala” fundraiser conducted in the Luverne Elementary School commons. The participants were encouraged to dress as their favorite princess with some of the FCCLA members helping with fingernails, makeup, hair braiding and other princess special effects. “We hope that the participants are able to just feel very special for the night,” said adviser Carmen Thompson. “They get to be pampered by the high school girls and feel pretty with their dresses, crowns and getting their nails and hair done.” Organized through Luverne Community Education, the Princess Gala is in its second year. The event provides money for FCCLA members to attend the state convention and fund special projects.
