ASHLYNN MANNS |
Indian Lake High School sophomore Ashlynn Manns will travel to Boston this weekend to attend the Business Professionals of American National Leadership Conference after earning first-place in the Regional Business Professionals of America competition in January and qualifying for the National competition during the state conference in March.
ILHS Business teacher Lisa Coburn will accompany Ashlynn to the event at Hynes Convention Center, where she will compete in the Advanced Spread Sheet category, building her project around specific scenarios that will be revealed during the test.
Mrs. Coburn instituted the BPA program at Indian Lake High School just last year and is thrilled to have a student make it this far this soon. “We’re not sure what to expect. We’re both nervous and excited” she said.
During the trip, the duo also take in a whale-watching expedition, and a concert at Fenway Park.
