Support FBLA Competitors at Nationals!

by: Gina Holmes

FBLA is a non-profit organization and the world's largest business Career and Technical Student Organization, aimed at preparing students for careers in business and business-related fields. Our chapter helps prepare students through community involvement, leadership, and conferences. Throughout the winter months, competitive events are held, recognizing and rewarding excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. They introduce members to and excite them about exploring career readiness while also helping students practice and apply their knowledge to tests and roleplays. Competition starts at the regional level, and the top 3 advance to the state level, competing against like-minded students from across Wisconsin. From there, competitors placing in the top 4 of their event (out of 21 individuals/teams) advance to the national level. Due to involvement in our chapter and success at the FBLA State Leadership Conference, 10 of our members have qualified for the National Leadership Conference (NLC) in Anaheim, CA, this coming June and July! This is a tremendous honor for our members and something we are looking forward to, so we can grow in our interests and leadership skills. At the National Leadership Conference, FBLA members from all across the country will get together to compete over a four-day span. While not competing, members have the opportunity to participate in workshops, growing their business knowledge, as well as certification tests. Competitors also have the chance to network with students through pin-trading, where competitors trade their state pins for pins from all over the country! While it is an amazing opportunity, it comes with a steep cost for our members. Including registration, hotel, flights, food, and of course, a little bit of fun, the trip will cost each member approximately $1,500. To help assist our members in covering costs to attend this trip, we are working with the community to achieve our goal of raising $5,000. With your generous support, you will be able to help foster the next generation of business leaders and help our members attend a trip of a lifetime, networking and competing alongside like-minded individuals from all over the world. What are ways you can support our members? You can donate online through this CLASSMUNITY page, using the DONATE button, or if you prefer to send a check, please send or drop off your check made out to "WCSD" to the Waunakee High School Office, 301 Community Drive, Waunakee WI 53597 and mark the envelope or memo "FBLA NLC". All money collected is distributed EQUALLY to our competitors. Any questions can be directed to ginaholmes@waunakee.k12.wi.us! We greatly appreciate your support. Thank you! FBLA NLC Competitors

1st Brigade Band - Civil War History Music Presentation

by: Danielle Werkheiser

Our 5th-grade students have a unique opportunity to learn about history through a live performance by the 1st Brigade Band, a Civil War reenactment group based in Watertown. According to their website, "In 1864, eighteen men from the Brodhead Brass Band enlisted in the Union Army and became the 1st Brigade Band, 3rd Division, 15th Army Corps. The 'Tradition of Excellence' that these men established more than 150 years ago continues today." We are excited to bring the band to our school in May. To make this experience possible, we kindly request your support in fundraising. We aim to raise $1000 to cover the expenses of bringing the 1st Brigade Band to our school on May 2nd. Any contribution, big or small, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and support! Sincerely, 5th Grade Teachers
