Starmount class offers hands-on opportunities

Sports and Entertainment Marketing, a class offered at Starmount High School, provides students with several hands-on opportunities in the field of sport and entertainment marketing. One project the class took on was organizing and running the first Sport and Entertainment Marketing 1 (SEM1) Cornhole Tournament, which was held at the high school on May 27. Cornhole is a relatively new game where teams of partners toss bags full of corn on to boards with a hole in the middle trying to reach 21 points before the other team. The event was planned, developed and implemented by the class to provide a real-world lesson on holding an event and the impact it could have on the local economy. While preparing for the event, members of the class researched the equipment necessary, secured the materials to make the boards and bags for cornhole, and consulted volunteers to help make the boards and bags. Starmount’s shop class helped with the project by constructing the boards used in the tournament while the art class helped paint the boards with the Starmount High School logo. Mrs. Melanie Matthews, along with FACS teachers, helped by making the bags used in the tournament. In addition to the SEM1, shop and art classes, many other students and staff helped with the scoring and timing of each game. In the tournament, the two-member teams could sign up to play in the tournament for $10, while other students were allowed to watch the game by paying $1 in advance or $2 at the door on the day of the event. After the bulk of the teams had been knocked out of the tournament, the finals came down to a team of students against a team of teachers, with the students prevailing. Rusty Wood and Dillon Bray defeated Coach Peoples and Coach Hortnon to be crowned as the champions of the event. The class raised $525 from the proceeds of the event, and the monies were donated to former Starmount student Meme Brown to aid her battle against cancer. Brown also participated in the tournament with her father David Brown. Earlier this year, the meeting between Starmount’s softball team and rival Forbush raised and donated funds for Brown as well during the annual Strike Out Cancer Night.

Colorado Family & Consumer Sciences Blog: FACS Mentorship Program

For the last two years I have participated in the CTE Family and Consumer Sciences Mentorship Program sponsored by the Colorado Community College System. This program has provided many resources for me during my first years of teaching. The world of Career and Technical Education is a wonderful outlet for students to apply everyday work in the classroom to situations they will face in the real world. I believe CTE programs are an extremely valuable piece to a well-rounded education for today’s students. With that being so simply said, understanding how to make your own CTE program thrive and survive is not as easy. There are so many regulations and practices, that to a new teacher can be extremely overwhelming. Especially when the lively hood of your program is on the line. Through the help of my mentor teacher, the other experienced teachers and professionals I have met, the information we have to understand has been broken down and explained in ways that make more sense. From things like how to tweak a lesson to make it better, tips about classroom management, sharing lesson plans to things like what a follow up report is, what VE135’s are, how we get Perkins money and what we can and can not spend it on. The other helpful part about mentorship, is meeting with the other mentees. It makes you feel normal to not understanding everything right away, and knowing other new teachers are going through the same trials and tribulations as you is comforting. And then seeing how successful the mentor teachers are, gives me optimism that one day everything will get easier (hopefully) There are days when everything really clicks and makes sense, and days when I feel totally lost and confused about running a CTE program. It is so easy for the little things to slip past you when you have a whirlwind of other things goings on (like teaching). But through the mentorship program I have been able to establish relationships with people I trust will know the answer, and help guide me through those tough, confusing, and overwhelming times. I find the network of people willing and wanting to help me be successful as a teacher growing bigger every year. And because of my interactions with all these wonderful people I know they have my and my program’s best interest at heart. I trust them, and am not afraid to admit when I don’t know the answer with them, which is not always easy to do.
