The Putnam County FCCLA competed at State STAR (Students Taking Action for Recognition) Events held in Osage Beach, MO with much success. The Putnam County FCCLA had seven members who created various projects for judging. Students developed a range of items including research portfolios, presentation boards, and oral presentations. The State STAR events were held in conjunction with the FCCLA State Leadership Conference. Therefore, students also benefited from conferences lead by FCCLA’s state officers and other inspirational speakers.  Putnam County students received awards at state and are as follows:

Gold - Stop the Violence:  Chloe T., Madison S., and Sydney T. - State Winner & National Qualifier

Gold - Career Investigation: Stephanie S. - State Winner & National Qualifier

Silver - Interior Design: Kaelyn P.

Bronze - Food Innovations: Hannah S. and Madison H.

The state winners in each category advance to National STAR Events in Nashville, TN. Two teams qualified and will be representing Putnam County in July. Congratulations on all your hard work and good luck in Nashville!
