The Connecticut STAR Events will be held on March 22 at Manchester Community College. The Culinary competition may be at another time and location. The national events held in Connecticut include:
We will be using the 2011 National STAR Event Manual. It is available for download at the bottom of this page. Do not use old rules or rubrics. A copy of this manual is available on the FCCLA website along with lots of additional information and rubrics, scenarios, menus and suggestions for integrating the STAR events into your various course curriculums. You will find this information on the National FCCLA website. It is helpful to download the Manual to your desktop but it is lengthy so it is not necessary to print all of it if you can read and research from your computer. Reviewing the event rules with your students before the competition should assist them in their preparation. If your event requires a portfolio, manual, or scrapbook, these items must be ordered from the national supplier found on the FCCLA website. We would like to encourage more students to compete in STAR events. For this reason, we are changing the number of students who are able to compete from each chapter. The Culinary event is available to only one (1) team of 3 from each chapter as is Chapter Showcase Manual and Display. All other events are available to either two (2) individual students or two (2) teams of up to three (3) students. It is required that the project content/topic is different for each entry – two teams cannot present the same Community Service Project, for example. The top scorer(s) in each event will be invited to represent Connecticut in at the FCCLA National Leadership Meeting next July. The participants in these events will receive gold, silver, or bronze medals. Some of the Connecticut Skill Events rules have changed. These are the events that have been designed for students in Connecticut, and include Comprehensive Cup Cake Decorating, Occupational Cake Production, Dining Room Service, Garde Manger, and Textile Arts. Clothing Construction will be replaced with the Fashion Design STAR event. The participants in these events will also receive gold, silver, or bronze medals. Copies of these rules are available by clicking on the name of the event above. Contact Karin Pyskaty at james.pyskaty@snet.net with any questions. These are all individual events and each chapter is allowed to register two (2) students for each 10 affiliated members. STUDENT EVALUATORS- We are looking for student evaluators to work with the judges. If you have a chapter officer who is not competing and would be interested, mark the registration : Evaluator. Students and advisers who work as evaluators are given a special gift with the FCCLA logo on it. They also pay half price for the conference. The names of these students and the event they are interested in participating in should be sent by e-mail to Karin Pyskaty, the coordinator of STAR Events, at james.pyskaty@snet.net. Our goal is to have 1 (one) student evaluator in each team of evaluators.
