“I enjoyed the culinary session. It was interesting for me to learn about exactly what it takes to create an eating establishment. It’s much more complicated than having a menu and business name.” stated Caroline A. Members who attended the Jazzercise session loved the chance to learn more about Jazzercise, dance, and burn some calories while working up a sweat. Others said a favorite session of theirs was the animal shelter and learning about the different programs they have and how much it costs to keep the shelter running.

During the Closing Ceremony, Power of One Award Certificates were presented. Logan Jacobsen received the Take the Lead Certificate for the work he completed the past year.

During lunch, members participated in the bucket auction and FCCLA Knowledge Bowl. Participating in the Knowledge Bowl for Plainview were Jessica Booth, Brooklyn Kumm, Devon Tunender, Seth Tunender, and Destiny Rickard. The money raised from the bucket auction was donated to next year’s state officers and national STAR participants to assist with travel expenses to National Conference in July.
