Teachers read excuse notes...

A quick update on this electronic newsletter. In an effort to reach as many advisers as possible we will be experimenting with the day of the week and time these newsletters will be sent for a couple weeks. Please don't be alarmed if it doesn't arrive when you think it usually does.

Don't forget to register your students for the virtual Fall Leadership Conference! Remember that students do not need to be affiliated in order to attend.

Regions 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 13 have opted in to tag onto our virtual conference and the region will receive $5 per registered student from that region so be sure to support them!

We are currently working on a plan to hold Legislative Shadowing virtually as needed.

Be sure to encourage your Junior and Senior students to apply. The deadline is December 11th.

Remember that in order to compete in Culinary Arts this year you must complete the eligibility application. The deadline has been extended to Friday, November 6th.

We are excited to continue our partnership with the Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri as our outreach project again this year!

They have shared with us an opportunity to become a Food Bank Advocate through social media

Due to the decision to make all regional STAR Events virtual we have decided that Culinary Arts will be a straight to state competition (there will be no regional competition). A menu will be released at a later date.

Nationals has created the Ultimate Leader Fund to help chapters with paying for affiliation. In order to offer that assistance we have to have the donations. Donors can donate for Missouri chapters using the link below.
