Wichita East DECA members engaged in Professional Dress Day
on the 27th of November, where members were encouraged to dress
professionally to school. This school outreach helped to raise awareness of
DECA as many students and teachers questioned the members’ outfits. DECA’s social media accounts were used to
remind and encourage members to dress up. Professional Dress Day not only
allowed students to look great, but also helped inform other students and
teachers alike about DECA.
DECA T-Shirt Day
Wichita
East DECA concentrated our DECA Month activities into one week. The highlight
of that week for paid members was the delivery of our chapter t-shirts. We
scheduled Thursday, November 29, as our first DECA t-shirt day of
the year. This gives our chapter the opportunity to show our strength in
numbers as a large club on campus. It also shows our lighter side since we
typically choose fun designs for our t-shirts (and professional dress day was
just two days prior). We had several students pay dues during DECA week just to
be sure they received their t-shirts in time for t-shirt day.
To show of our
new shirts, DECA members were encouraged to report in front of the building for
a quick group photo at the start of our lunch period.
Teacher/Staff Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation Day is a tradition that Wichita East
DECA has always held during DECA Week. As DECA members we recognize that our
absences from school and involvement in DECA projects and activities often put
a strain on the teachers in our other classes. We want to thank our teachers
for their support both in their classes and encouragement to be successful in
DECA.
After school on Thursday, November 29, DECA members met to
put together a small surprise including hot cocoa, candy, school pens/pencils,
and spirit buttons. We placed these treats on each teacher and staff member’s
desk after they had left for the day so that they would be greeted with a
surprise Friday morning. The staff overwhelmingly responded positively to our
gesture.
