A team of three

students, seniors Michael Amosu and Shawn Tupper and sophomore Whitney

Hanlon, placed fourth out of 39 entries in the Promotional Bulletin Board

competition.

The competition

consisted of designing and constructing a buletin board promoting the

Skills USA-VICA organization, preparing a notebook about the board, and

making a speech before the judges. This is the third consecutive year

that MHS has competed in this category in Kansas City, having previously

placed sixth and eleventh in national standings.

Ankia DuPreez

competed in the Photography competition which involved one day of shooting

film and an eight-hour contest the following day covering written and

hands on activities in many facets of photography. Photography is an interest

DuPreezhas pursued during her two years in the MHS Graphics program and

hopes to continue to pursue as she goes on to college.

In addition

to entering the Promotional Bulletin Board contest, Whitney and Shawn

were selected to serve on the National Courtesy Corps where they volunteered

8-10 hours per day for six days to assist in the running of the conference.

SkillsUSA-VICA

is a national organization serving more than a quarter-million high school

and college students and professional members who are enrolled in training

programs in technical, skilled, and service occupations.

Contests in

73 skill and leadership development areas were judged at the event by

representatives of business, industry, labor, and education.
