On Friday, 27 October, members of our DECA club participated in a competition at Plainview-Old Bethpage High School. The competition was represented by many public high schools in Nassau County. Students had the opportunity to listen to a keynote address (given by a successful local entrepreneur), participate in leadership activities, and compete against other schools in developing a creative and successful business plan.
Led by DECA Advisor Joseph Virgilio, the following students participated in the competition:
- Matt Baltzer
- Jason Bergstein
- Brett Bloomberg
- Jona Chorost
- Tony DeLuxe
- Evan Gitlitz
- Zach Jacobs
- Coby Khami
- Lex Wain
- Summer Puricelli
- Jacob Ribotsky
- Manan Shukla
- Caleb Varghese
For their French Cuisine/Soup Kitchen restaurant model, the team consisting of Matt Baltzer, Jason Bergstein and Lex Wain placed 5th out of 27 teams! Congratulations to all of the members!
