We were able to award scholarships for the first time as a chapter this year!

Our DECA Diamond Scholarship will be awarded for a member who represents the four points of the DECA Diamond and the DECA Inc. Mission Statement.

Our first "DECA Diamond" award winner is Madison Singleton.

We also awarded two scholarships for work in the coffee shop. Our Lancer Lounge Managers wrote essays about what they contributed and learned.

Our first "Raising the BARista" award winners are Madison Singleton and Holly Williams.

Our former DECA Inc. State Officer came back to LaVille yesterday to share professional insights with our Management students. She shared best practices for resumes, job interviews, and networking. She explained how what they are doing today can influence tomorrow’s successes as they work toward their goals.

It was another great day to be a Lancer!

Our Lancer Lounge sponsored a Canned Food Drive the past couple weeks. Together we were able to donate several boxes of Canned Food items to Closet of Grace.

Closet of Grace is a local food bank serving local families in need. We are glad to be a part of such a wonderful network within our LaVille community.

Our coffee shop workers had a SWEET lesson today with Lucky's Koontz Lake.

Reba Beehler was able to discuss several aspects of operating a coffee shop and answered several questions from our young Lancer Lounge Managers.

It was great seeing DECA Students give back to a new generation of DECA Students.

Look at what one of our DECA members is doing now!

North Central CTE is excited to feature some of our students! Our featured student today is Cloie Davis. She is in Mrs. Laura Kruyer’s Education Professions class located at Plymouth High School. Cloie is a student at LaVille Jr./Sr. High School.

Mrs. Kruyer said, “Cloie consistently exceeds expectations in the classroom as well as at her field experience. She possesses top-tier communication skills with a natural ability to connect with elementary learners. She has a proactive presence in the classroom where she anticipates student needs and supports the learning environment with professionalism. Cloie is well on her way to becoming an exemplary teacher.”

She likes this best about the class: “Education Professions gives me the opportunity to work with younger students and serve as a role model towards them. I love being able to observe students and teaching styles. I am so grateful to have this hands-on experience in the classroom.”

Cloie took this class because: “I decided to take this course because I knew I wanted to work with kids as a future career. Knowing that I would be able to interact with younger students helped me realize this would be the perfect fit for me.”

When asked, “How has this course and program helped prepare you for your plans for after high school?” Cloie said, “In my field experience, I have been introduced to the authentic role of a teacher through time management, communication and problem solving skills. It has helped me solidify my decision to work with kids and have the ability to help them perform the best they can.”

She also said, “Mrs. Kruyer has been such a strong role model for me through this course and I appreciate the time and effort she has put in to make sure we thrive as potential educators. She has extremely helped with my organization skills and prepared me for my time at my field experience.“, when asked if she wanted to share anything else about the program.

Congratulations to Cloie for this wonderful recognition!
