Yesterday, Ms. Stevens' Marketing/DECA class competed in the regional role play competition at Alfred State. All of the ladies performed quite well in the role play portion of the competition with Graci Lewis-Ellison taking home 3rd place, Katrina Lewis coming in 2nd place, and Bella Pepiciello taking 1st place overall for our school in both testing and role play. Shukrona Shermatova receives an honorable mention for obtaining the second highest score in the role play with an 88. Harper Bledsoe was a "runner" for the event and did a great job. We're very proud of our Blue Jays! Great work, girls and thank you Ms. Stevens for preparing them for this event!
