I'd like to formally congratulate our new officer team! Tim, Allison, Audri, Cameron and Brendan were the top vote-getters. The race between all of the candidates was very close!
The new officers have their work cut out for them - in the near future and in the long run. They will be interviewing on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and then will find out on Thursday which positions they will serve. They will then be asked to come up with some goals for our chapter to work towards this year. If anyone has any suggestions, please post them here. I have a few of my own ideas, and I bet the officers have some ideas too!!
If anyone has any good questions for me to ask the officer candidates, post them here as well. I'd love to take questions from our members! Take a moment to congratulate our new leadership and also thank everyone who ran. Don't forget to friend request us over on Facebook - bpbpa!

October Updates
MEETING CORRECTION TIME - MEETING IS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 14!!!
Howdy to the members-to-be! We're gearing up for our elections next week! So far we have a hefty ballot which includes Timmy, Adriana, Audriana, Stephen, Nick, Ethan, Tyler, Allison, Hayley, Trevor and maybe one or two others! The candidates may want to go to the BPA website to download the National Officer Fact Sheet. You can find it linked off this page. The top 5 vote-getters next week will have an interview with Mrs. Powers and me in the near future. I would think that we would pull some questions out of this fact sheet. (for sure!)
If anyone else wants to be included on the ballot, please let me know by Friday. Expectations from the officers are high - so don't run if you can't commit. Officers have to be present at all of our functions, have to attend all meetings, have to assist other members and me, and be the best cheerleaders for our chapter. Special officer meetings will also take place during the school year.
Everyone is reminded to submit their dues of $22 by the October 14 meeting. Looking forward to some exciting things!

School Year 2009-2010
Hello students! It won't be long before we're going full steam ahead in a new year of BPA! The prize is sweet this year. (As it always is!) Our national trip will be Anaheim California. Yep - Disneyland! Maybe you don't like Disneyland, but I think that's pretty much impossible and would make you Un-American!!
I have some plans so far. Naturally we'll be hosting a talent show the Friday before Thanksgiving. Keep an ear and eye out for new talent. I love to tap into the new Freshmen!! The Fall Leadership Conference has been booked for October, I believe. This is an event where we take our officers. Which brings me to the next point. Who wants to run for office? Remember, our guidelines for office will be mimicking those of nationals. Anyone who wants to run, can do so. You will give a speech and then the members vote. The top votes get to interview with a panel of teachers and we will place you in the position for which you are best suited. This should help alleviate the "popularity" vote. I'm hoping for a dynamic, hard-working officer team this year!
Well that's it for now. Comment on this post so I can see if you're all still around and if you're psyched for BPA!!

Congratulations!
Wow! What an amazing SLC team!! Mrs. Powers and I are so lucky to have a wonderful batch of kids because you make our "job" not a job at all. It's a pleasure to attend these conferences with you and watch you all experience new things and take in all that you can. I hope you were able to make some new friends, perhaps quite a few memories and that you had a positive experience.
Please watch this blog and/or your email as I will be moving quickly to get you some prices for our national trip, okay? Talk to your parents to see if you can go to nationals - I'm thinking the trip will cost no more than $400 - but that's just a prelminary figure. Could go up or down....depending on flights, etc.
I'll be uploading videos to our YouTube asap. If you have any, send them to me by email or bring them to me on a CD or USB drive. Thanks!!
GREAT job everyone!!

Notice for Parents!
Dear Parents/Guardians:
I am very excited about the students competing this year at the Business Professionals of America State Leadership Conference on March 7, 8 and 9. This letter contains information regarding what will be expected of your child in order to obtain the best experience possible.
The cost per pupil for the state competition is $195.00, based on quad occupancy at the hotel. This figure includes registration to the conference, hotel charges and food for the entire weekend.
On Saturday, March 7, students will arrive at B-P dressed in their professional attire* at 8:30 a.m. The bus will take us to the Sheraton Tara in Framingham. The students are encouraged to pack a lunch for Saturday, as it is the only meal that is not provided during the conference. We will begin competing at the hotel shortly after our arrival. Students will be participating in contests as well as attending seminars and leadership workshops held in various locations throughout the hotel. Saturday evening all of the conference attendees will remain at the hotel, participate in a formal dinner, will enjoy a guest speaker and opening ceremonies and then will choose to attend a dance or participate in games in a designated, chaperoned game room. Curfew will be at 11:30 p.m.
Sunday morning the students will wake early. All students will board school buses and head to Assabet Valley Vocational School for breakfast and begin competing at the school. Students will remain at school until about 3:00 p.m. at which time the kids will return to the hotel, change into casual clothing and try their hand at informal, fun competitive events such as karaoke, Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band and other fun activities.
Monday morning we will have an awards brunch at the hotel. It is during this ceremony when students find out if their hard work paid off! Students will know at this time whether or not they are eligible to attend nationals which are in Dallas, Texas May 5 - 11! I’m very proud of how hard all the students have been working in order to compete at the state conference.
This year we have 24 students participating in the state conference. My wonderful colleague, Mrs. Powers, will be accompanying us and will act as another set of eyes and ears for our students. The ratio of 12/1 is very manageable! Your child may bring over the counter medicine as well as any prescription medications with them. Please instruct them how to take their medications appropriately, or if you prefer, you may give me the medication and I will see to it that they take the proper dosage. If you wish to contact me during the weekend, send me an email and I'd be happy to provide you with my cell phone number.
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please email me at mrssylvia1010 at yahoo.com or phone 508-823-5151 x 204. A hard copy of this notice has been emailed to your son/daughter with a notation regarding appropriate dress code.
