FBLA had a good day yesterday at Washburn. They will not know the results from the district 7 FBLA contest for a week or two. I wanted to share with you that the advisor in charge of the competition made a point of letting Mrs. Poe know that the Centralia students are amazing students. As they sat in a group in a lobby area waiting on Mrs. Poe, they were quiet, respectful, and they were waiting patiently. Kudos to this group of students. We will share the results of the competition when they are posted!
