Good Morning Nevada!

In 2002 Salt Lake City hosted the Winter Olympics where men and women from all over the world competed.

Over the past few days this venue hosted another event that in my opinion may be even more important than the Olympics because its about high school marketing students here to compete academically on a world stage.

Last night at approximately 11:30 CDT while most of you were probably tucked away in bed three students from NRTC’s DECA Chapter captured a first place trophy at the International Career Development Conference held in Salt Lake City, UT.   The Financial Literacy Promotion Project team of Taylor Norcross, Dominic Puller and Alexa Cubbage made the final round of 15 finalists out of 190 teams Tuesday morning and went on to capture the Gold in their division and will be headed home as champions.  (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS).
A total of nine Nevada students competed at this international business and marketing competition of nearly 15,000 young men and women from around the world.   Bailey Harbit received a Certificate of Excellence in the Sports & Entertainment Marketing event,Megan Harper and Hali Durnell competed in Buying & Merchandising Operations Research, Myra Ornelas, Morgan Turner & Devin Miller competed in the Hospitality & Tourism Operations Research event. All represented Nevada well.

For many reasons this trip personally was very special.  The obvious ones are from a Dad and a husband standpoint I’m especially proud of my daughter and my wife as an instructor.  But I’m also proud as a Nevada R5 patron and board member.  In my opinion there are too few events like this that truly celebrate the academic excellence these nine students from Nevada R5 achieved.

The first place Financial Literacy team will present their promotion project during the EverFi certification ceremony to be held Tuesday, May 8th at 6:00pm in the NHS auditorium.  Students who have completed the EverFi curriculum in the marketing classes will be recognized by representatives of Heritage State Bank, the Missouri Bankers Association and EverFi.  Everyone is invited to attend this ceremony on Tuesday and also congratulate this championship team.

So after we take our trip to Disney World this group will be back in Nevada!  (Just kidding – but I thought that’s what you’re supposed to do if you win it all).  Get some rest because I can tell you that we sure didn’t but that’s okay because it was worth it.

Thank you all of you for the support.
