The FBLA Leadership Team competed at state on April 8th, 9th, and 10th. At the competition the students either conducted an event and then wrote a 15 page report regarding the event, or took a test about a certain category regarding some major topics in FBLA. The sponsors of the FBLA team are both teachers Sandra Robinson and Cayse Overstreet at Fair Grove High School. “The students prepared by rehearsing their presentations. Objective test takers studied study materials provided by FBLA” said Sandra Robinson. Cydney Fullerton, Logan Holliman, Ryah Icenhower all worked together to compete in The Community Service Project. They placed 6th overall in this event. “This is one of the most competitive events in Missouri FBLA. The Competition is fierce and the projects are diverse. Placing 6th in state is a major achievement, as they competed against many projects, all with great messages of service and servitude.” says Robinson.
