Representatives Foley, Dovilla
| Honoring the Polaris Career Center management and culinary arts teams as the 2014 Ohio ProStart Invitational champions. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to the Polaris Career Center management and culinary arts teams on winning the 2014 Ohio ProStart Invitational championships; and |
| WHEREAS, With some 398,000 employees, the restaurant industry is the third largest private sector employer in the State of Ohio, and Ohio ProStart is part of a national two-year program that helps develop top high school students into tomorrow's restaurant industry leaders. Students invest 400 hours of mentored work in a foodservice operation and scores of hours of classroom study, sacrifice personal time away from loved ones, and successfully complete two nationally certified exams to earn the ProStart Certificate of Achievement, and 81 percent of ProStart certified students are still studying or working in the industry five years after receiving their certificates; and |
| WHEREAS, On February 10, 2014, 148 students from 57 ProStart schools across the state competed in the Ohio ProStart Invitational. Student management teams presented verbal and visual plans for new restaurant concepts, including building layouts, menus, pricing, and marketing, and were judged by a panel of foodservice professionals from business and academia, and student culinary arts teams took part in a one-hour contest to create, cook, prepare, and present three-course meals and were judged by a panel of professional chefs; and |
| WHEREAS, From Polaris Career Center, students Morgan Anderson, Devan Anderson, Jr., Ashley Brunner, Elizabeth Nunemaker, and Renee Ondrejech, under the astute guidance of their instructors, Chris Olszewski and Kathy Kostur, placed first among sixteen teams in the management competition, and students Daniel Frigeri, Travis Hawk, Katarina Liska, and Jalyssa Stringer, under the invaluable mentorship of their teacher, Chris Olszewski, placed first among fifteen teams in the culinary arts competition. This is only the second time in the twelve-year history of the Ohio ProStart Invitational that students from one school won both contests; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate the Polaris Career Center management and culinary arts teams on their state accomplishments and extend best wishes for ongoing success; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Polaris Career Center management and culinary arts teams. |
