FBLA Works And Has Fun Future Business Leaders of America, FBLA, is considered one of the biggest and most active organizations at SFHS. Anyone can join as long as they are willing to give up a little of their own personal time at lunch to attend meetings, and help with extracurricular activities such as the annual Snowball Dance which was held on December 5. Another successful activity sponsored by FBLA was the FBLA toy drive. This was very prosperous, and all of the toys were given to the needy for Christmas. FBLA was founded here at SFHS in 1976 and since then has grown tremendously. Now in their eleventh year here at SFHS, FBLA has 38 members, eight of which are club officers. FBLA had meetings regularly this year in Mr. Orlando Baca's classroom, C-l. Aside from Mr. Baca the two other FBLA sponsors are Ms. Sophie Starnes and Ms. Carolina Paralta. One of the main activities of FBLA is the Demon Depot. Some of the members of FBLA(see page 97)work in the Depot before school, after school, and at lunch At the end of the year all of the profits win be added up and divided among three main groups. These are, the FBLA scholarship program, the summer trip in June to Hawaii, and what ever is leftover will be reinvested to buy new appliances for next year's opening where they hope to have picnic tables for their customers to sit on. Trips that the Future Business Leaders took were to attend state and regional conventions where they learned a lot about business and things to do in the future.
