Twenty-three Holyoke Junior High FBLA students traveled to Denver on March 5 to compete against other Colorado chapters, hoping to place in the top middle school students across the state. Students gave presentations and took tests. They also enjoyed meeting and working with the high school state FBLA officers, include Holyoke’s state officer Ben Kleve. In addition to their competitions, games were played and teams were created to make projects and give “shark tank” style presentations to officer teams where they decided the best prototypes.
