Appalachian Imagination: FBLA and "Boo on the Hill"

This episode is conducted by Mrs. McQueen (Sarah) FBLA advisor at the Jackson County High School, along with the FBLA student officer team Kasey Bowman (Historian), Rylee Turner (Reporter), Kyla Bagwell (Parliamentarian), Isabella DeLeon (Vice President), Brista Estridge (President), and Laikyn Robinson (Secretary). 
They discuss how the team is using FBLA to gain hands on work experience to prepare them for the workplace, exciting upcoming events, opportunities for members to be involved and the value of community that comes with being in a club or organization. Tune in for insights, advice and a closer look at the leadership behind the FBLA chapter of Jackson County High School. 
The team owes much of its success to the former president, Jason Cornett. He is a role model, that inspires the current officer team to make the current officer team to make FBLA the inclusive club that it is. Mr. Cornett graduated last year and stays in touch with members and provides counsel and praise to the team. 
Being an officer for FBLA is a huge commitment. Officers stay after school and are constantly in communication with one another. The chapter has big plans for the year. Last year the officer team led the chapter to be Nationally recognized Silver chapter. This year the team has a goal to be recognized as a Gold Chapter and are already halfway there with necessary points. 
The upcoming event the club is most looking forward to is "Boo On The Hill"! There will be student volunteers from several JCHS clubs and organizations decorating their trunks and handing out candy. The event is free and open to the public. Community members are invited to bring their families to the Trunk or Treat event at JCHS on October 24th from 5-6:30pm. You're also encouraged to stop by the Jackson County Public Library in McKee for more Trunk Or Treat fun and the Adult Education center for hotdogs and other treats during this time. 
JCHS-FBLA is looking forward to opportunities to serve our community and equip students with the experience and knowledge they need to be successful in their careers in our community and beyond.
