\u201cOur FBLA students had an awesome day of competition at the area meet as we had a record number of students qualify for state,\u201d said FBLA Lead Advisor, John Whitten. \u201cThe students have worked weekly after school since October studying for tests, working on presentations, preparing their speeches and putting themselves in a position to succeed. I am excited for our students that they reached state. Now, we start putting in the work to improve our scores and presentations and solidify our speeches. I am thankful for a great group of students along with the help of co-advisors Shanta Lockett and Sarah Fry.\u201d<\/p>\n
