    Future Business Leaders of America from Wappingers had an outstanding showing at the state competition in Rochester last week where they competed for three days against more than 500 students. This was a rebuilding year for NYS FBLA and for our local chapters. Only thirteen students made the trip this year from John Jay and three from R.C. Ketcham, but once again, Wappingers brought home more than our fair share of the metal. Competitions have a wide variety of formats. The presentations vary from pre-submitted projects, multiple choice tests, public speaking, role-plays, and combinations thereof in multiple rounds from regionals to states.  Students placing 1st - 4th at the state level qualify for the National FBLA Competition in Chicago in July.

    The best thing about being an advisor to an academic club is that you get to work with the people who will lead us into the future in business, medicine, computer science, politics, journalism, or anything else their heart desires. No matter what place they earned this time, these kids are all winners in life.
