In order to compete at the state level, students had to have scored 80 or higher at the Region 2 STAR Events, held earlier this year. TMS took three groups to the state STAR Events. Titus Kottwitz, Caleb Ray and Caleb Shell all earned the trip to Nationals while at the State STAR Events competition held as part of the State Leadership Conference held March 20-22 at Tan-Tar-A. In addition, two students, Ali Cox and Laylah Clause, earned a silver rating on their project.
Titus competed with his project entitled “Improving My Overall Health” in the Nutrition and Wellness category. For this event, Titus set a nutrition goal and a wellness goal for himself and created a plan to help him meet his goal. He then worked the plan for a week and compared his results. Titus earned a gold rating, qualifying for Nationals.
Caleb Ray and Caleb Shell competed in the Food Innovations category with their project entitled “Snack Attack.” They created a rub seasoning for chicken, which then went into a meal kit for middle school students. They earned a gold rating and will compete at Nationals.
Ali Cox and Laylah Clause competed in the Repurpose and Redesign STAR event, with a project entitled “Spring Into Repurposed Frames.” For this event, the girls took an old picture frame and repurposed it into a jewelry holder. The girls earned a silver rating for their efforts.
Also attending from TMS was Graeme Sager, who served as a voting delegate and the chapter’s voting member for new state officers for the 22-23 school year.
