On Feb. 10, the North Kansas City Future Business Leaders of America competed in their first competition.

Senior Jesse Sackett, who placed first in the Accounting online test, believes that he did very well in his event.

“We think we did well representing North Kansas City High School,” said junior Jazmine Jones and her younger sister freshman Jala Jones.

The Jones sisters participated in the Business Ethics event. Jazmine and Jala did not place because of wardrobe malfunctions.

“I think we did our best. Next time I’ll take out my lip ring,”said Jazmine Jones.

For the Jones sisters and Sackett, this was their first year participating in the FBLA competition.

Junior Kevin Nguyen placed fifth in the Technology Concepts event.

“It was easy,” he said after being asked how he felt about the Technology Concepts test.

FBLA is now working on fundraising for future projects. Their top idea is to sell donuts in the morning during breakfast.

FBLA will also be participating in the Snake Saturday Parade in North Kansas City on March 10.
