Reeds Spring High School students earned seven medals at the Future Business Leaders of America State Leadership Conference. Kaden Colman finished second in Computer Game Simulation and Evan Brandsma was third in Agribusiness and third in Entrepreneurship, with his partner Faith Jones. Jones and Rosalyn Williams also finished sixth in Broadcast Journalism, and Rylie Lacy placed eighth in publication design.
“I am extremely proud of this group of kids,” said FBLA sponsor Ronda Plaster. “It was so much fun watching this group prepare and lift each other up as they got ready to perform.”
