On February 4th, twenty members of the John Jay High School Chapter of FBLA traveled to Carmel High School to compete alongside seven other schools, and over a hundred other students in the 2016 District 3N Spring District Meeting. Here, they would be able to participate in an assortment of competition events, the diversity of which would cater towards a variety of interests, allowing everyone to find something that they enjoy while each event still related back to skills required in business. Examples are Business Calculations for those who enjoy math, and speaking events for people who enjoy performing. Additionally, the competition provided a great opportunity for all of the participants as they would be able to practice skills that they would need later on in life but in a lower risk environment, allowing them to go more freely outside their comfort zones.
The morning of the event, the students of our chapter arrived to school already in full business attire, ready, excited, and with good reason, a little nervous for the afternoon to come. They had been preparing and studying for several weeks, and their hard work would pay off as they would return to John Jay at the end of the day with 11 awards including two fifth place awards to Aaron Roberts and Ian Psaras, and six fourth place awards to Joe D’Annibale, Tanvi Athavale, Joe Rabasco, Charles Gray, Ruby Miller and Zach Rozycki. In Sports Management, Jeeven Bhinder and Nick Stanton would land consecutive spots, placing second and third respectively, and Amy Zhou would place second in Public Speaking which also qualified her for the event at the state competition. Congratulations to everyone, and good luck at states in April!
