Advisers, please remember if you have any outstanding invoice with Ohio FCCLA or have not paid your affiliation invoice you will be blocked from registering for Career Development Events until the invoice(s) in question have been paid in full.
This year the fee for all Career Development Events has increased to $70.00 per event. Culinary Team will be $125 for regionals. State Culinary Team fee will be $55 per team. For chapters competing in Culinary CDE’s as well as the other CDE’s there are two sites to register. All CDE registrations will close at the end of business on December 15.
The Career Development Committee decided to suspend Straight to State events this year. All registered CDE’s must be evaluated at their specific regional location. The top ten competitors in each level in each event that score a 75 or above will become State Qualifiers. State qualifiers will be announced no more than 10 business days after the last regional event.

Career Development Events
|
|
Family and Consumer Sciences education programs expand across four additional career fields while giving students experiences beyond the classroom. Every ray provides:
- A benefit to students.
- The classroom is the hands-on experiential learning of the content.
- FCCLA is the leadership, professional skills and personal growth portion.
- Career fields is the authentic real world skills.
- College and career ready, including academics, knowledge, technical expertise. And a set of general, cross-cutting abilities called employability skills.
Through participation in Career Development Events, FCCLA members gain employable skills and industry insight needed to thrive in the 21st Century. Members may choose from 50+ Competitive Events which apply skills and knowledge gained through Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education.
Career Development Events set members up for career success as members explore Career Pathways and address important personal, work, and societal issues through competing on the region/district, state, and national level.
Career Development Events categories (when used) are based on grade level and not on type of FCCLA membership. If a member of a team, the student will compete at the highest level of the teams’ members. Some events will still have FCS course requirements or other eligibility criteria. (see Career Development Event Chart) The Career Development Event levels are:
Level 1 - Members through grade 8
Level 2 - Members in grades 9 and 10
Level 3 - Members in grades 11 and 12
When reviewing Career Development Events with your members please use the OhioFCCLA website under Career Development Events as a guide.

Adviser Expectations with Career Development Events
|
|
Importance of Chapter Advisers serving as judges for regional, state and national CDEs. Chapter advisers are subject matter experts in both Family and Consumer Sciences, Hospitality and Tourism, Education and Training and FCCLA. As subject matter experts, they serve an important role in providing essential information about FCCLA, Family and Consumer Sciences, Hospitality and Tourism, Education and Training curriculum, and Career-Technical Education to both members and other adult volunteers. Without chapter advisers serving as event volunteers, evaluation teams may lack critical context and subject matter information that could negatively impact final scoring.

FCCLA Student Ambassadors Needed!
|
|
We need student leaders to share personal knowledge and stories regarding teen traffic safety as part of a county-wide Safe Communities Committee.
Adult committee members seek a teen perspective on traffic safety as they develop programs and strategies to improve traffic safety across local communities.
Adult committee members represent police, sheriff, fire, and medical personnel as well as some civic groups.
Our ideal student representative should be interested in promoting community safety, may have an interest in a safety-related career field, displays leadership qualities, and has support from the FCCLA adviser, parents, and school principal.
Students will attend at least 2 meetings and may require release from school. Schools may determine transportation policy to attend the meetings. This is a great chance to show the leadership potential of your student and to show the community the power of FCCLA as a leadership program. Please share the information and application with students in your chapter.
Student Ambassador Application (due by November 22, 2019). Contact Kelley Smith for questions or assistance:

Granville Middle School wins National School Lunch Contest
|
|
Granville Middle School has won the Ohio 2019 National School Lunch Contest! The mascot from the Ohio Department of Education visited with students October 17th students during their "Ohio" themed lunches. To go along with the theme, we ask that students dress in their Ohio gear that represents the state or Ohio sports teams. During lunch the students listened to Ohio music like, "Hang on Sloopy", OSU Marching band, "Beautiful Ohio", and musical groups from Ohio, like Rascal Flatts. After students ate lunch, they are encouraged to join in a game of kickball in the GMS gym. This years contest theme was "Lunch Menu Playlist". The GEVSD Food Service Jon Harbaugh, Family and Consumer Sciences students, and Mrs. Zenah planned the menus, theme for each day, music, and activities to celebrate National School Lunch Week.
