FBLA Winner!
Our FBLA students competed at EKU in the Spring FBLA Regional Conference. Students participated in different events and demonstrated their knowledge and skills they've learned through their business classes and FBLA meetings.
In his first time ever in the competition, Yahsaya Boaz won first place in the impromptu speaking event, where students have 10 minutes to prepare and deliver a speech on a random business topic in front of a panel of judges. We are so proud of Yahsaya! He moves on to the state competition at the Galt House in Louisville after spring break. #academiesoflex #leadingtheway #fbla

AVID Welcomes 8th Graders
AVID students welcomed Bryan Station Middle School's 8th graders last week for a fun-filled morning. The high schoolers led the 8th graders through a rotation of activities like Pictionary, Making Words With Friends, Mingle Bingo, and a school tour. It was a great chance for our AVID families to get to know each other and for 8th graders to connect with high school AVID students. A big thank you to Mrs. Brandy Ashford and Mrs. Laura Duffy for manning the stations. Mrs. Ashford and Mrs. Yvette Thompson for assisting with planning and logistics. Also, to Mrs. Rebecca Shearer, Dr. Fred Snodgrass, Mr. Eric Hale and Ms. Latonya Meekins for stopping by to greet the students.
