The 61st Annual Pennsylvania FBLA State Leadership Conference was held in Hershey, PA on April 16-18, 2012. This year’s theme was Gateway to Greatness and we are proud of our growing FBLA group! South Western High School was represented by seven students, competing in four events.
• Kennedy Barba, Rosemarie Westcott & Alaina Martin took part in the objective test for Marketing.
• Tyler Klenk and Brandon Arbogast took part in the Introduction to Business objective test.
• Anthony Miserendino participated in the Help Desk test.
• Jake Donovan took the Introduction to Technology Concepts test.
In addition to the competitive events, students took part in various workshops to learn more about topics such as accounting, leadership, power presenting, dressing for success, and more!
One student’s thoughts, “At the SLC we had a fun and yet educational trip. I learned how to dress and present myself in interviews. I learned about different business careers. I also learned that in life, do something for which you have a passion.”
