Fashion Design and Hospitality & Tourism DECA members are no exception when talking about adapting to all the changes the last year has brought. Our student leadership clubs have carried on despite the challenges of not being able to compete in person. One year ago Ms. Forbes and Ms. Brown were at DECA state competition with students in Bellevue when the first COVID-19 outbreaks were happening and schools had not shut down yet. Fast forward a year and our students have adapted to remote and hybrid learning, making adaptations to their previous routines and systems of functioning. Our Area 9 competition was set up and coordinated by our local area DECA advisors to be fully remote. With the help of volunteer judges and a lot of organizations, students competed with other local area schools to qualify for a spot at state competition. Top 4 competitors at Area 9 got a medal and moved on to the state competition. Students then repeated the process on a much larger scale competing against students around Washington state. Coleen scored top 10 out of 85 that competed in her category at the state competition. Congrats Coleen and all of our DECA members for taking a chance and investing in their futures!
Area 9 Top 10 in their Category for Test or Mock Scenario: Laina Berry - Fashion Design Samantha Caceres - Fashion Design Margret Dezellem - Fashion Design Coleen Kyne - Fashion Design (Top 4 in category - pictured with 2 medals) Natalia Sandrin - Fashion Design (Top 4 in category - pictured with 1 medal) Starlyn Van Luk - Hospitality & Tourism (Top 4 in category) Students who competed at the State competition: Laina Berry - Fashion Design Margret Dezellem - Fashion Design Coleen Kyne - Fashion Design (Top 10 in the state for her mock scenario 2nd medal) Starlyn Van Luk - Hospitality & Tourism |
