Goldbug Fever Buttons - AM Students

Washington school students

Washington Elementary School students "stand up and holler" to show their "Goldbug Pride" and receive their "Goldbug Fever" button.

The AM BPA Members made Goldbug Fever Buttons for all Alva School Elementary Students for AHS Homecoming. All morning students created a Goldbug Fever button design. Three designs were selected by the Officer Team. Each of the three elementary schools had their own unique button design. The students made the buttons and then presented them to all the Alva Elementary School students on Thursday, October 11.

September 4th through the 7th was a very busy time in regards to the Business Professionals of America, Alva Chapter, at Northwest Technology Center. Afternoon students wishing to run for office had Tuesday the 4 th to sign up and design their campaign posters. As the colorful posters went up in the Business & Information Technology and Web Development/Graphic Design classrooms, the candidates that signed up worked on the short campaign speeches they would give to introduce themselves and their reasons for wanting the office they had chosen to run for, to their fellow classmates and instructors.

On Friday the 7th of September, the candidates that were running for office made visits to the participating classrooms, delivering their campaign speeches; some candidates handed out campaign candy. Shortly thereafter, the ballots were cast and the instructors, Mrs. Andrea Long, from the Business & Information Technology class and Mrs. Tami Frascht, from the Web Development and Graphic Design class tallied the results.

The air was thick with anticipation as the candidates waited for the results to come in.

The election results are as follows:

PM Class: President - Laine Fry, Vice-President - Kristy Stephens, Secretary/Reporter - Susan Parent, Class Representative - Morgan Neilson & Margaret Davidson.

A hearty congratulation to all the elected officers! They will be traveling to Oklahoma City on October 8, 2007, for their first Business Professionals of America conference.
