Newark School of Fashion & Design students win prizes at FCCLA

Newark School of Fashion & Design (NSFD) students took home prizes at the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) fashion competition.

28 students participated in the competition in the following categories: creative stitches, fashion posters and passion for fashion sketches. The students placed in first and second place gold, silver and bronze.

Superintendent Roger León said in a statement: “I am not surprised that our students competed against more than four hundred fifty students and won in multiple categories. They are extremely talented and we are excited that they have a platform where they can show the world how gifted they are.”

Sakina Pitts, principal of NSFD, commented: “Imagine, freshman students beginning their journey into high school on September 7, 2021, and becoming so focused under the tutelage of our Fashion Department Teachers, Ms Posey, and Ms Tabman, that they entered their very first Competition just three months into school and brought home the win!”

Ms. Posey, teacher of Art Education at NSFD, added: “All things are possible for those who have a willing heart, and here at the Newark School of Fashion and Design - we are destined to succeed beyond great measure.”
