We are proud of our Consumer Decision Making teams today! They competed against one of the largest turnouts for CDM today at the Tennessee State Fair, and represented our county so well!

Our Junior High team won second in the region, with two members, Dea and Oorvi, placing 6th and 7th individually.

Our Senior High team faced tough competition, and came out with a 5th place finish!

Thank you to Hitesh Ashar for coaching and Mansi Ashar for supporting our CDM teams!

The Consumer Decision Making Contest helps youth build practical skills for making smart, fact-based choices in everyday life. Through this hands-on competition, participants learn to evaluate products, compare quality, and make informed decisions that best meet specific needs or situations. The contest also strengthens reasoning, communication, and teamwork skills as members present oral reasons to explain their choices, helping them think critically and make confident decisions in real-world settings.
