FCCLA! 25 FBLA members also went to state in Bellevue. They were among nearly 2000 other students who took part in the State Business Leadership Confrence (SBLC) held at the Meydenbauer Center, the Hilton, and other hotels around the area. This year’s theme was “Fire Up Your Future”. Students got the chance to build up their knowledge on a lot of buisness-related subjects. Other topics such as public speaking, preparing for a job interview, determining leadership style, selecting the right college, and starting your own business. Students could test their knowledge by performing in competitive events, both written and performance. Dane deQuilettes, Dan Campbell, and Cam Reister got fourth in Community Service. Chris Hoffman placed fourth in Accounting and Katlyn Straub placed first in Client Service earning her way to FBLA nationals held in Atlanta, Georgia this coming June. Good job, and good luck FBLA!

Showin' Some Green!

FFA hosted their annual bedding plant sale in late April. The group sold a variety of plants including bedding plants, veggie starts, hanging baskets, color baskets, and herbs. This fundraiser took place Saturday April 26th, at the Chelan Agriculture Education Dept. (The green house behind the school and beside the tennis courts). Our FFA crew has been taking care of all these plants and flowers since early
February. The total amount they earned from this fundraiser was roughly about $5000. Congratulations to the FFA crew!
