Future Business Leaders of America
The specific goals of FBLA-PBL and the Chapter are to:
Develop competent, aggressive business leadership
Strengthen the confidence of students in themselves and their work
Create more interest in and understanding of American business enterprise
Encourage members in the development of individual projects which contribute to the improvement of home, business, and community
Develop character, prepare for useful citizenship and foster patriotism
Encourage and practice efficient money management
Encourage scholarship and promote school loyalty
Assist students in the establishment of occupational goals
Facilitate the transition from school to work
Competitions
Through competition at a Regional Leadership Conference, the State Leadership Conference, and the National Leadership Conference, students have the opportunity to showcase their knowledge, skills and habits in a wide range of business environments. Many of these competitions require considerable research and practice; others are staged at conferences. Each event is governed by specific guidelines found in the Wisconsin FBLA Competitive Event Guidelines.
Service Projects
Pack the Pantry Food & Hygiene Drive
Thank you to the Weston community for your participation, flexibility, and donations throughout the Annual Pack the Pantry Food and Hygiene Drive the last 3 weeks!
We raised $1,860 in monetary donations and collected 1,639 food items (in comparison, in 2020 We raised $1,055 in monetary donations and collected 1,285 food items). This year, we are supporting some of our own Weston families with food, bread, eggs, butter, milk, meat from Kruse Farms, and gift certificates to Soltwedel's Store for their future food needs. Additionally, we were able to support the Reedsburg Food Pantry and Richland Community Food Pantry.
A huge thank you to our community partners: Arneson's Service & Repair, LaValle Telephone Co-Op, Royal Bank, Alibis Bar & Grill, Soltwedel's Store, Boston's Bah, Ma & Pa's Pit Stop, St. Anthony's Catholic Church, St. Paul Lutheran Church, and Lime Ridge/Sandusky United Methodist Church.
FBLA members spent time the week prior to the holiday break delivering food and donated items to the Reedsburg Food Pantry, Richland Center Food Pantry, and Passages.
