FCCLA Leadership Training
|
|
This year the Executive Council decided for the Team Obstacle Course chapters who wish to dress in costume may do so, however; there will be no contest. For first time attendees this event will have members get dirty so please make sure that the clothing they wear may get ruined. Also, have members bring an extra pair of shoes to wear home. We recommend that all advisers bring or have students bring trash bags to take their clothes home. Any questions please call the state office at 614-466-5718.

The Fairchild Challenge is a free, multidisciplinary, standards-based, STE(A)M-focused environmental education program for middle school and high school classrooms which provides teachers with another tool to deliver core curriculum, and gives students an opportunity to shine. Central Ohio students compete against each other in four (4) challenges we have created:
1) Green Cuisine - Many-Cultured Meals; 2) Visual Arts - Environmental Photography; 3) Collective Action/Writing - Sustainability at Your School; and 4) Growing Beyond Earth - the NASA-collaborative challenge where students collect data about plants for use in space and submit directly to NASA scientists. Find much more information about this program on
Franklin Park Conservatory's website.

Ohio Beef Council Virtual Field Trips
|
|
These live virtual field trips, with special emphasis for middle and high school Culinary and Food and Consumer Science classes, will turn Ohio classrooms into virtual beef farms through the use of live video conferencing technology.
A total of five virtual field trips, each guided by farmers and beef experts, will virtually transport students live to a cow-calf farm, feedlot, and into the meat lab to share how food is grown, cared for and provided in Ohio. Students will chat directly with farmers and experts during live Q&A sessions. Each trip is also recorded so that classrooms not able to participate in live virtual field trips can watch a trip on-demand.
Culinary and FCS classes registered for trips will receive additional educational resources to help students understand Ohio’s food supply while helping teachers cover many of Ohio’s standards regarding beef cuts (types, grades), choosing cooking methods, understanding meat production and sustainable practices.
