Miami FCCLA compete in Warrensburg; student headed to state

On February 11th, 2011 Miami R-1 participated in FCCLA STAR Events in Warrensburg, MO. The Miami R-1 FCCLA Chapter took six students to compete against several others schools in the district. To be eligible to compete in STAR Events the students must chose a category they are interested in and prepare a presentation. Some students chose to do fundraisers and promote awareness for a specific cause; others designed a product and business plan, or researched a career. 

7th grader Kaylee Eslinger (above) did a presentation over the hazards of leaving children in a hot car. At the competition she received a bronze medal. 

8th graders Caitlin Slattery and Trevor Ewbank (above) presented an oral presentation over alcohol and the effect is has on athletes. They also came home with a Silver medal. 

8th grader Sammy Sendejas (above) presented and oral presentation with a power point over career investigation, she brought home a silver medal as well. 

9th grader Makayla Fuqua (above) presented an oral presentation over seatbelt safety; she also brought home a silver medal. 

Miami R-1 had one student bring home the gold and qualify to compete at the state level. 8th grader Jaclyn Crawford (above) completed a presentation over recycle and redesigning bottle caps. Jaclyn made bottle cap necklaces and designed a business plan to sell the necklaces for a profit. On March 27th-29th Jaclyn will be traveling to Columbia, MO to compete at the State level in her category. 


We are very proud of all of our FCCLA students and would like to wish Jaclyn the best of luck on her upcoming competition.
