State FBLA-PBL Leadership Conference April 10, 2018 On April 10, 9 JHS students and Mrs. Austen Malley traveled to Springfield, MO to compete in different areas at the Missouri Future Business Leaders of
America – Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference. Over
5,000 students and advisers came together with over 150 business
education related contests running during the event; contest topics range from
accounting to website design, marketing to mobile application development. This was a great experience for all that attended. BIG NEWS!! Evan Cory placed 3rd in Business Law and has qualified to compete in Nationals this summer in Baltimore, Maryland. We are so proud of Evan and would like to help him be able to attend nationals at the end of June. It is going to cost around $900 in travel and accommodations to Baltimore and sightseeing in Washington D.C. The school district is going to put funds toward this exciting adventure but there will be other expenses that are not currently covered. If you would like to aid Evan in this amazing experience, you can send your support to the school, marked for Evan, and we will make sure it is put toward his trip. Congratulations, Evan!!!
