More than 30 students headed to nationals in Dallas in May
By DEVYN TAYLOR

The Hamilton Heights Business Professionals of America (BPA) had over 90 students compete March 13-15 in Indianapolis.
Again, as in years past, our chapter had many successes with over 30 qualifying for national competition May 4 to 8 in Dallas, Texas. The chapter is trying to find sponsors and raise donations to help students pay for airfare, registration and lodging for the competition. The students are excited to compete in person for the first time since 2019. Several students have not been to a national or state competition with COVID restrictions over the past few years.
Students have qualified for several different events, including Ethics and Professionalism, Global Marketing Team, and Human Resource Management.
The hope is to be able to send all the Heights qualifiers to nationals. If you can help, please send your donation to: ATTN: Devyn Taylor, 25902 State Road 19, Arcadia, IN 46030. Checks should be made out to Hamilton Heights BPA.
Fundraising efforts
Hamilton Heights BPA will hold a new fundraiser this year called “You’ve Been Egged.” Parents can pre-order candy-filled eggs from the Easter Bunny to be hidden in your yard for Easter morning. Pricing starts at $20 for 25 stuffed eggs and increases as the numbers rise. All questions and inquiries can be directed to Devyn Taylor at devyntaylor@yahoo.com or (317) 695-2564. All payments for “You’ve Been Egged” will be due prior to April 8 so BPA can plan ahead.
Hamilton Heights BPA will also hold a car wash and bake sale from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on April 9 at the Noblesville Tractor Supply Company, located at 2375 E. Pleasant St. Come support the students as they take donations.
