DECA provides many opportunities for students to get involved in their school. Small/personal projects from T-shirt design/selling, Chisholm family fun night, cookie sales, Ronald McDonald house canned food drive, "LIFE" books, Pop tabs, TRI Week, and many more it seems like DECA is always busy with something. Officers do a great job of taking charge over the major projects, but members can do just as much. Ask Mrs. Walters what you can do to help if you are interested in helping out with a project, you will get your wish!
