Incredibly proud of all the Multimedians who went on the trip to Anaheim to compete at the Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference this past week!
We sent more competitors than ever before ... State Champs in Website Design Team (Emma Nowlin, Ella Cox, Will Meyer), State Champs in Video Production Team (Keira Bryant, Caden Watts, Marshall Wickman, Macy Erickson), State Champ in Presentation - Individual (Maxwell Clark), and 3rd Place in the State in Visual Design Team (Marcus Schwartz, Addie Knoll, Matthias Smith).
Our few days in Anaheim were filled with great times together ... Disneyland, Santa Monica Pier, a tour of Sony Pictures and plenty of time in the California sun!
At the awards ceremony, all the hard work paid off ... 3 teams made it on stage as national finalists! The Video Production Team finished 8th, the Website Design Team finished 4th, and the Visual Design Team got on the podium with a 2nd Place finish!! I am so proud of each person who competed and represented Multimedia and Eastland-Fairfield so well!
It was another incredible year ... filled with intense disagreements, corrupted files, long nights, early morning, thoughtful debate, research, planning, phone calls, emails, texts, whiteboards, wireframes, revisions ... and it was all worth it. The lessons we learn are deepened so much by this experience ... win or lose .... the relentless pursuit of excellence brings out the best in us.
Congrats to all my students who Played. To Win. The Game!
