~FBLA FLOAT~ Holyoke High School FBLA members decorated a golf cart to serve as FBLA’s float for the school’s homecoming parade. Committee  members designed and decorated the float to promote FBLA to the theme of “Get the Edge!”  In addition, FBLA members gave out flyers that promoted FBLA as well as pens donated by the local business Computer Etc.

~TEACHER APPRECIATION~ FBLA members know how important it is to build strong relationships; therefore, chapter officers sponsored a Teacher Appreciation Day. Teachers were recognized with a complimentary note and three Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. FBLA appreciates all the teachers’ hard work.

~SCHOOL BOARD REPORT~ Chapter officers presented a report to the district’s school board. They summarized the year’s activities for the board members and included information about the performance at competitions and goals accomplished by the chapter. The meeting was highlighted by the presentation of reports from chapter events.

~ARTICLES~ Publicity is letting people know who you are, and our chapter is doing just that! Vice President Whitni Redman submitted  an article to Colorado’s FBLA Today, encouraging FBLA members to reach their potential. In addition The Holyoke Enterprise, our local newspaper, has been very supportive of Holyoke High School FBLA’s activities and projects. Some of the articles that were printed included conferences attended, chapter event projects, and a special news release for our National Vocational Week.
