   "The importance of teaching LifeSkills becomes more critical each year as we work to prepare our children for the challenges that face them in our complex society," according to Ann Anderson, AAFCS 2005 National Teacher of the Year.
   
   There is no better time than the holiday season to: learn about safe food preparation and storage for turkeys and holiday meals, find out how to organize a holiday treat exchange, pick up some helpful tips about fighting holiday weight gain and obesity, find out how to shop safely online while saving time and money, and gather some budgeting tips for holiday expenses.
   
   These handy and informative topics are presented by AAFCS, a national nonprofit organization of educators and businesses concerned with LifeSkills and lifelong well-being.
   
   In addition, AAFCS highlights the 2005 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Ann Anderson, from Duncanville High School, Duncanville, Texas, where she is currently an FCS teacher and chair of the Family and Consumer Sciences Department.

   Ann Anderson has dedicated 29 years to teaching family and consumer sciences (FCS) at the secondary school level. In 1967, Ann earned a bachelor's degree in home economics education from North Texas State University and in 1991, a master's degree in secondary education from the University of North Texas. From 1967 to 1971, Ann taught FCS classes in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District. Since 1980, she has been working at Duncanville High School and is currently an FCS teacher and chair of the Family and Consumer Sciences Department.
   
   To stay on the cutting-edge of her field and provide the highest quality education to her students, Ann has continued to advance her professional development. Last year, she completed a 40-hour course taught by the Intel Corporation on integrating technology into the classroom. Ann has also completed the workshops necessary so that her students can earn Tech Prep and Articulation credit in Texas. Additionally, she has completed the hours and passed the exam to be a ServSafe Instructor.
   
   In addition to Ann's membership with AAFCS, she is an active member of related organizations. She has been a member of the Hospitality Educators Association of Texas (HEAT) for eight years; member of the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and National Association of Teachers of Family and Consumer Sciences (NATFACS) for 24 years; and member of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and the Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher Association of Texas (FCSTAT) for 29 years.
   
   For FCCLA, Ann is a chapter advisor and coordinates the six FCCLA chapters at her high school. She has chaired and co-chaired FCCLA regional and state STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) events. Ann's students have competed in the Community Service, Culinary Arts, and Job Interview STAR events and some have moved on to compete at the state and national levels.
   
   Giving back to the community is an important aspect of Ann's curriculum and her life. Her students have prepared and served food for the Stewpot, an organization that assists homeless people in Dallas; visited senior citizens in nursing homes; assembled Easter baskets for the Children's Advocacy Center in Dallas; and participated in the Relay for Life at her high school to raise funds for breast cancer research and increase awareness about the disease. Ann personally contributes to the Duncanville Education Foundation, which gives grants to deserving programs in her school district and gives gift certificates to needy students at her high school.

Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2005." The Perkins legislation provides funding for career and technical education and family and consumer sciences (FCS) secondary school classes, such as the one taught by Ann Anderson.
