The Victoria FCCLA had 17 members compete in District B STAR Events in February and all of them received the top score there and advanced to state competitions. There are over 30 different STAR events a member can compete in. All of them require the members to create and carry out a project and then make visuals and present their ideas to a panel of 3 judges. At the state level 11 members received the top scores and qualified for national competitions that will take place in Seattle, WA this summer.
The members advancing are:
Benjamin Dome, Brody Nowak, and Kennidy Amrein in Professional Presentation
Averi Windholz, Sienna Schmeidler and Jillian Schmidt in Interior Design – Level 3
Brinly Lichter, Shelby Dorzweiler and Emma Dinkel in Interior Design – Level 2
The following students competed, but did not advance on to nationals.
Myah Younger, Caidyn Dinkel and Abby Bronson received a silver in Food Innovations
Saige Moos received a silver in Job Interview
Aurora Nowlin receive a silver in Chapter in Review
Leah Dinkel, Kaylee Kuhn and Ashtyn Washburn received a silver in Focus on Children
In addition, Aurora Nowlin was selected to serve as a member of the State FACTS Peer Education team and will receive training at nationals. Siage Moos was elected to serve as the 2024-2025 District B President and will also receive training at the national level. These two members are not the only members going to nationals in a leadership role. Benjamin Dome will be running to a national officer position. He is the first national officer candidate for the chapter. He will go through an intense interview and testing procedure in addition to giving a speech to over 8000 members in attendance with the hopes of being elected to serve on the ten member national executive council for the 2024-2025 school year. All members have worked very hard all year to earn these honors and chances to be national winners. The chapter is extremely proud of them!
