Is there a dress code?
As you prepare for your upcoming FCCLA event, please keep in mind that we adhere to the Washington FCCLA Dress Code. To assist you in selecting appropriate attire, we have provided a comprehensive guide outlining the permissible clothing options for members at any FCCLA event. While it is important to adhere to the dress code, we want to ensure that you are not discouraged.
What are STAR events?
Students Taking Action with Recognition (STAR) Events are engaging competitive activities where students can showcase their talents and abilities. These events give students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills as they address important issues related to families, careers, and communities. Whether competing individually or as part of a team, students can choose from a wide range of over 30 events to participate in. By researching a topic, developing a project, and actively advocating for positive change, participants enhance their leadership skills and career readiness. STAR Events provide a platform for cooperative teamwork, individual achievement, and healthy competition, thus fostering personal growth and application of learning.
