The Putnam County FCCLA competed at Regional STAR (Students Taking Action for Recognition) Events on January 24th, 2018 with much success. The Putnam County FCCLA had five members who participated in Region 3 competition at Marceline High School. The events span various areas related to Family and Consumer Sciences. These projects are rigorous and require hours of preparation that, for some of the students, is done outside of class. Students develop a range of items including research portfolios, display boards, and oral presentations. It allows students to develop oral and written communication skills in areas of personal interest.

Students competed against other FCCLA members across the northeast corner of the state. Students can receive gold, silver, or bronze awards based on the scoring of their projects at regional competition. Two students who competed received Gold ratings at regional competition, which qualified them to move on to the State STAR events.

The following students participated at regional STAR events:

Entrepreneurship: Emily D, Maggie F., and Jaylee M.

Food Innovations: Hannah S. - State Qualifier

Fashion Design: Kolby R. - State Qualifier

The 2018 State STAR events are being held March 11-13 at Tan-Tara Resort in Osage Beach, MO. These FCCLA members will represent Putnam County in the best way. Congratulations on all your hard work and good luck at state!
