    A Career and Technical Student Organization is a basic component of education

    programs that supports and enhances related school-based and work-based learning.

    These organizations provide value to students through various opportunities that allowthem to showcase their skills and knowledge. CTSOs are found in middle, junior, senior

    high, and post-secondary schools throughout Wyoming, and are comprised of groups such

    as FBLA, FCCLA, PROSTART, DECA, SkillsUSA, and FFA.

    What are the benefits of a Career Student Organization? They:

    Enable students to achieve high academic and occupational standards

    Develop meaningful business partnerships

    Link school- based learning to the real world at work, community and family

    Motivate youth to become better students and productive citizens

    Develop school and community leaders

    Enhance student self-esteem and self- confidence

    Career and Technical Education (CTE) through these groups provides exceptional

    experience for students by connecting career pathways and strong industry partnerships.

    Students gain knowledge and skills which todays employers demand of our high school

    graduates.

    CTE adds to our students education and success. As we strive to prepare every

    Wyoming student to be college and career ready, CTE provides our greatest collective

    opportunities for creating a skilled, knowledgeable, and productive future workforce.

    Below are 10 quotes from Stephen Covey that have the power to completely change the direction of ones life.1) The key is not to prioritize whats on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

    2) The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

    3) Live out of your imagination, not your history.4) Trust is the glue of life. Its the most essential ingredient in effective communication. Its the foundational principl e that

    holds all relationships.

    5) Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

    6) I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

    7) You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the couragepleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, tosay no to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger yes burning inside. The enemy of the best

    is often the good.

    8) I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.

    9) Love is a verb. Love the feeling is the fruit of love the verb or our loving actions. So love her.

    10) Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy.

    Recently, the award for Out-

    standing Service-Learning

    Project was presented to JoshMichelena, Construction Tech-

    nology instructor, and his stu-

    dents for their work on con-

    structing homes for Habitat for

    Humanity of the Eastern Big-

    horns. In addition, Habitat for

    Humanity was recognized as

    the Outstanding Community

    Partner. This is the first year

    the awards were presented,

    according to Tracy Dearinger,

    Sheridan College Director ofService-Learning. We are

    very proud of what the stu-

    dents do for Service-Learning

    projects in our community, andthis project is definitely one

    that deserves recognition.

    Matt Davis, Executive Director

    of Habitat for Humanity,

    stated that this is true commu-

    nity and we are so thankful to

    the College for working with

    us. He added The owners of

    the last house the students

    built saved enough money to

    be able to return to college,

    so it really goes full circle.

    According to Dearinger, Ser-

    vice-Learning is community

    service that is tied to curricu-lum. This type of experience

    allows students to not only

    develop and implement a

    service project, but they en-

    gage in active self-reflection

    that attaches personal mean-

    ing to the event. Service-

    learning has the power to

    enrich the college experience

    and change a community.

    What do a bunch of high school students, college

    students, and advisors do during a major snowstorm??

    Have a SkillsUSA State Conference!!

    The mission statement for SkillsUSA is:

    SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and

    industry representatives working together to make

    sure America has a skilled workforce. It helps each

    student excel. This partnership was very apparent this

    past week when students and teachers gathered on

    April 15-17,2013 for the annual Wyoming SkillsUSA

    State Championships.

    Wyoming SkillsUSA celebrated its 18th

    year as a state association at the 2013 Conference.

    Membership is currently 615 members from 24 high

    schools and 6 community colleges. SkillsUSA

    membership consists of high school and college

    students.

    The purpose of the Wyoming SkillsUSA

    championships is to allow students to showcase their

    technical skills and knowledge in addition to

    leadership abilities within the high tech fields that are

    so prevalent in industry today. Students gain a level

    of expertise in the total learning realm which

    enhances their opportunities to seek quality career

    level occupations and be prepared to live a quality life.

    They acquire skills and knowledge in the cutting edge

    of technology and work towards being a major

    contributor in the work force of tomorrow. Business

    and industry representatives set up the contests and

    are judges of the projects. This connection allows

    business and industry to actually see what students

    are learning and provide input to the instruction.

    Wyoming SkillsUSA participation in both

    state and national events has been exceptional. Over

    450 students and advisors registered for the 2013

    state competition. From the state winners, about100

    people will serve as the state delegation to the

    National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas

    City in June. SkillsUSA awards only 1st, 2nd and 3rd

    place for each contest and Wyoming students do very

    well at the national level. Last year Wyoming students

    received Gold and Bronze in the areas of Welding and

    Welding Fabrication Mobile Robotics and Medical

    Terminology. Many students also placed in the top 10for their area.

    Wyoming SkillsUSA would like to extend a

    huge THANK YOU to the many teachers and business

    and industry representatives that volunteered many

    man hours to set up and run the contests. Donations

    were also received from businesses in order for the

    students to have the supplies needed to complete their

    projects. This includes:

    Three Moorcroft FCCLA

    students recently competed in

    the Digital Stories forChange event at the national

    level of FCCLA. Their video,

    entitled ICHTM, is an

    informational video about the

    hazards of texting while

    driving. The video was

    challenging enough just to get

    it filmed and edited, but it

    also struck a note with our

    student body since the senior

    class lost a friend when they

    were 8th

    graders to adistracted driving accident.

    The students, Paige Allen,

    Ashley Sams, and Emily

    VerBurg, constructed astoryboard and script for the

    video, then shot all the scenes

    on location or nearby to

    create a video that is both

    informative and thought-

    provoking. The vide was

    submitted to National

    FCCLA for judging, and

    the team found out on

    March 15 that their video

    made the top 20 in the

    nation, and will move onto National competition in

    Nashville this summer. Wish us

    luck as we take on some of the

    larger schools in FCCLA withour video: It Cant Happen To

    To prepare for competition,

    students take classes in Marketing,

    Management and Entrepreneurship,

    practice solving and presenting

    business case problems, and study

    hundreds of business related

    competencies. Students must study the

    general areas of marketing and

    management as well as area specific

    competencies. No clues are given out

    ahead of time about the

    competencies.

    In competition, a student may

    be asked to analyze businesses

    declining sales and make

    recommendations to improve sales

    and obtain a larger market share for

    the company. Students are challenged

    with case problems ranging from

    planning merchandising budgets to

    designing creative advertising

    campaigns. Students present their

    solutions to judges who not only listen

    to the presentations, but actively

    participate in the role playing

    scenario. Students are judged on a

    specific set of competencies for each

    case problem. In addition, each

    student takes a 100 question

    comprehensive test corresponding to

    their competitive area.

    Students are given between

    10 - 30 minutes to solve their case

    problem and 10 - 15 minutes to

    present their solution to a group of

    judges. Students do not know what

    the case problems will involve ahead

    of time; therefore they must be

    prepared for many different types of

    scenarios. They are not allowed to

    refer to any resource material.

    Each year more than

    160,000 DECA members, from

    around the world, participate at local

    school or district DECA competitions.

    Students refine their skills and move

    on to their state conferences, from

    which roughly 16,000 students earn

    the right to compete at DECAs

    International Career Development

    Conference.

    Campbell County DECA is

    coached by Suzan Newberry and

    Ashley Walker.
