DISTRICT X STAR EVENTS
District X STAR events took place on January 28, 2010 at Cedar Rapids Prairie. STAR stands for "Students Taking Action With Recognition" and is the competitive component of FCCLA. Iowa Mennonite was represented by two participants, Jessica Hill and Danny Peterson.
Jessica received a gold rating for her Recycle and Redesign project. She purchased a dress at Goodwill and cut off the lower half, attached a waist band using fabric scraps, and showcased her grandmother's unique antique buttons. She transformed items that might otherwise be discarded into a fashionable skirt. Jessica is a junior at IMS and the daughter of Tim and Tina Hill of Washington.
Danny received a silver rating for his Illustrated Talk, "Touched By Adoption." Danny's presentation informed his audience about adoption and expressed his desire for all children to be part of a loving family. Danny is a senior and the son of Gerald and Ruth Peterson.
Both participants advance to state at the State Leadership Conference which will be held March 22nd and 23rd in Des Moines.
Other students who attended were Carlie Bender, Megan Martens and Anndra Ropp. Kathryn Ney attended as adviser.

SMOOTHIES FOR HAITI
On the morning of January 22nd FCCLA advertised on IMS's website that all proceeds from the strawberry smoothie sales at the basketball games that evening would be donated to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) for relief in Haiti. Even though the advertisement lasted only one day, the response that night was great. The blenders were smoking as FCCLA members sold SEVENTY-ONE smoothies, a chapter record, raising $302 for the people of Haiti! Thanks, everyone!
