So there I was last Saturday - on the bus heading to states. I sat in the front of the bus taking every morsel of rest being offered at this point. Everyone was dressed in their most professional outfits and looking quite grown up. I heard some laughing, saw some smiles as well as blank faces on the students who had no idea what they were in for. Some of the chatter I could hear had to do with "profit margin, target market, flip charts, and marketing plans". Who were these kids? I am reminded that if you give kids the opportunity to shine, they will do just that. And shine they did!
Our school was very successful this year at states. Global Marketing is an event that we have done well with since the event came into being about four years ago. We took a first place and third place in that event. We took a first in desktop publishing, yeah Beth!! We took a second in fundamental word processing, third and fourth in entrepreneurship, second in prepared speech, fourth and fifth in database and third in graphic design! I had two students elected as state officers and three students will be receiving their Ambassador Torch Awards! That means 16 kids are going to New York City in May!
Thank you to everyone for behaving so well. I hope you had some fun, met some new people and took away a lot of "Good Times". *get it???* "Good Times" Oh, I crack myself up.
