Griswold has a few times when we recognize our members and what they have done. At the begining of the shool year, we host a Welcome Night/Parent's Night. This is where we tell the parents what we have done the past year, how it benefits their children, and other things like that. We highlight Nationals from the previous summer. Those who participated in National STAR Events show their project and give a brief explanation for it. All who went get to share their favorite experience. It basically shows the new members that they should do a STAR Event and work really hard for their shot at Nationals. The chapter officers elected at the end of the previous year also get recognized and get to speak a little.

 

During our meetings, the members that went to a conference or special meeting are recognized and get to stand and give a report about their favorite part and what they learned. 

 

In the daily announcements, those that participated in STAR Events get their name, their event, and what medal they got posted for the whole community to know what amazing achievement our members did.

 

The Griswold American newspaper allows our members to write an article, whether it be for a STAR Event or just to update the community on FCCLA. Many times we submit pictures of our activities, successes, and more. Everyone in FCCLA has a great chance of being in the paper for one reason or another. 

 

KCSI, the local radio station, also allows members to come in and speak about FCCLA or an awareness for a STAR Event. There are at least 2 chances a year for live radio spots. We like to feature our state and local officers and STAR Event results.
