Members of the Butler County High School Family, Community, and Career Leaders of America (FCCLA) recently competed in the Region 4 STAR Events competition.

STAR Events offer individual skill development and application of learning through the following activities:
Cooperative - teams work to accomplish specific goals.
Individualized - members work alone to accomplish specific goals.
Competitive - individual or team performance measured by an established set of criteria.
The 45 students representing Butler County competeted in various events ranging from entrepreneurship to focus on children to parliamentary procedure. Individuals or teams that finished in first place in any event advances to the state competition in March. All 45 Butler County students placed in the event they competed in and 27 students placed in 10 different events.
Mrs. Kimberlea Embry, Family and Consumer Sciences teacher and FCCLA sponsor, said, "I am so proud of our students! They really did an amazing job! Students planned and implemented projects that impacted our school and community. Many students have been working on these events since school began."
Member Caitlyn Ford, president of the senior parliamentary procedure team, says, "We are excited to go to state and show them what Butler County is made of. We put a lot of hard work and determination into this and just cannot wait to see what happens!"
