The Chadron High Future Leaders of America attended the
annual State Leadership Conference in Omaha on March 29-31, which was the 50th
Celebration Year of Nebraska FBLA. While
at the conference, students went on a big business tour of the TD Ameritrade Center,
listened to the keynote speaker, Keith Hawkins, and attended a variety of
workshops. But most importantly, Chadron
students competed amongst all class levels in many different business
competitions. Chadron was represented
well by the local FBLA chapter as students took trips across the stage to
receive their awards. Peyton Hinn and
Bailea Kerr placed 4th with their E-Business Project. Chrissy
Calamari made it into semi-finals of job interview and received an honorable
mention for her achievement. Trevor Hinn made it into the final round of
Impromptu Speaking and landed an 8th place spot. Caston Stack represented Chadron well with a 7th
place finish in Introduction to Technology Concepts and an honorable mention in
Keyboarding Knowledge. Honors also went
to Ashlynne Noble and Kaylee Gaswick for qualifying for the All-State Quality
