Blue Eye Students Excel at Regional FCCLA STAR Events

The Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is a dynamic and effective national student organization that helps young men and women become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and social issues through Family Consumer Sciences education. STAR Events, (Students Taking Action with Recognition) is an FCCLA program of competitive events designed to recognize individuals and chapters for their proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills and occupational preparation.

Each year regional contests are held in various subject areas whereby the TOP 2 Gold Medal Winners advance to State competition and possibly on to National competition. Region 10 encompasses 31 school districts within southwest missouri including Springfield schools, Strafford, Nixa, and Bolivar. The following students from Blue Eye competed in the corresponding events and earned the following awards.

Bailey is the first Regional officer from Blue Eye since the 1990s. Her duties will include keeping an accurate account of regional finances, providing a financial report at all regional meetings, conducting leadership workshops at conferences and upholding the mission statement of FCCLA in all aspects

7th and 8th Grade Art Project

Students that choose to take art class in 7^th or 8^th grade experience creating in a variety of mediums that are specialized and unusual.  We study the classics: drawing/painting/sculpture; however, here at Blue Eye, Mrs. Zetina likes to provide opportunities with materials that are quite untraditional for the classroom.  Stained glass is a medium most children will never have the chance to experience.  The following pictures are from the last project of the semester.  The  largest windows are from her advanced students.
