Food and Toy Drive Successful

Sandhills FBLA’s annual food and toy drive was a huge success this year. The student body contributed over 450 items that translated into over 500 pounds of food, clothing and toys.On December 23, the members of the committee moved all the products to the Blaine County Food Pantry. Pastor Ralph McKay expressed his gratitude to the students at the high school.

The sophomore class won the class competition with over 200 items. The freshman class had 100% participation. Both classes were rewarded with movies passes to the Tiffany Theater in Broken Bow for their hard work.

Bellevue East FBLA Powderpuff Game

On October 25th Bellevue East FBLA hosted their 9th annual Powderpuff Football game. Junior and senior girls played their hearts out to win for their class, but only one was victorious. In a close, hard fought battle the Juniors won 25-18 for only the second time in 9 years. The whole purpose of the game wasn’t just for fun though. Through player and coaches fees, Bellevue East FBLA was able to raise $200 for March of Dimes. The whole Bellevue community embraces the fun and competitive game by coming out and showing support for our FBLA chapter. State Vice President John Willey even came out to show his support of the chapter. The powderpuff game is something Bellevue East FBLA takes pride and joy in, and they hope to host it for years to come.
