FBLA WRAPS UP WITH GREAT YEAR
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) has had a very successful year. Members have been excited about participating this year.
Many do not know that Georgia FBLA is the largest and most competitive in the nation. Georgia has over 25,000 student members and has won awards for its membership. With such high membership, the competition is stiff. Twenty-one Banks County High students competed in twelve different events in region competition at Madison County High School. Twelve students advanced to state competition at the Hyatt-Regency in downtown Atlanta. Of those advancing to state, two of those students placed top-ten in the state and received their award on stage during a recorded presentation at the Hyatt. We are very proud of their accomplishments.
FBLA also had its annual Biggest Loser competition. Twenty-five teachers participated losing around 300 pounds from January to the end of March. The annual FBLA Powder-Puff game was a big success in regards to attendance, participation, and fund-raising. The seniors and sophomores defeated the freshmen and juniors 32-0. Despite the score, fun was had by all participants and spectators. Thanks to everyone who came out to support FBLA and our Banks County High School students.
