Today our Albany Middle School FBLA students traveled to West Bend, WI High School to participate in FBLA's Southern WI Middle School Regional Leadership Conference. Our students had the opportunity to compete in competitive events, attend workshops, and enjoyed a show from magician Kirk Patrick. They all had a great time and 3 of our students placed in the top 5 of their competitive events.
- Jena Jones, 4th Place, Career Exploration
- Matthew Thompson, 3rd Place, Exploring Agribusiness
- Carter Crain, 1st Place, Exploring Computer Science
Those three and all our other middle school members now have the choice to attend and compete in the FBLA Middle School State Leadership Conference at the Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells on March 8th and 9th.
Great job Chase, Chase, Maddie, Jena, Matthew, and Carter! You all were amazing representatives of Albany Middle School in our inaugural year as an FBLA chapter.
