Members of DECA, a national association of marketing students, recently celebrated their "special" week, the week of October 12, 2010, started off another DECA week. The week had many events occurring, which included dress up days, twinkie eating contests.
When Sam Russ was asked why is DECA week celebrated, he replied, "It is a celebration for a nationally known club that raises money for well known causes, such as for the Muscular Dystrophy Association or also known as MDA".
DECA week isn't when the club is only celebrating their club, but it is also the same week that they raise money for a good cause, they not only do that but they also do community work too.
When Jamie Adams, business teacher for Sparta High, was asked what does DECA do for an individual she answered, "It helps develop leadership, it is fun, and it can open up careers down the road. It also gives students experience to be better employees, make better decisions, and help develop better presentation skills."
This inspiring club offers members a chance for personal growth and educational lessons, as well as helping out various causes and the community. There is a good reason for them to celebrate.
