GCM FBLA Rocks New Program!
GCM students win in consumer and marketplace skills competition.
Marshall High School
is excited to have participated in the pilot LifeSmarts FBLA competition. The
National Consumers League created the program LifeSmarts for the use of other
nonprofit organizations as a fun and rewarding tool to develop the consumer and
marketplace knowledge and skills of teenagers.
Instead of the typical 5 player team, the competition consisted of a 2 person team that tested their Personal Finance and Consumer Rights & Responsibilities Knowledge. In order to compete, students had to each take 3 rounds of individual testing, and then 2 collaborative tests on the aforementioned topics. Out of the 4 teams that competed from Marshall, 3 of them placed within the top 20 – one team placing 4th in the nation, Team FBLA TrapCity – Ben Bowie and Ryan Barrett. This team will compete in the National Competition next summer in Anaheim, California.
Go Marshall!
