Lakewood Ranch High School sophomore Micaela Figueroa recently worked the halls of power of the Florida Legislature in Tallahassee.

Micaela,  daughter of Santos and Michelle Figueroa, represented District 7 of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America  in Tallahassee.

While there, she informed state leaders about FCCLA and Family and Consumer Science classes. Micaela had the opportunity to meet with Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, who serves as president pro-tempore of the Senate, to address the need for continued support of  career and technical education programs in Florida schools, said Elaine Bowling, FCCLA advisor.
