A Rolling Partnership:  Waunakee FBLA and Waunakee Neighborhood Connection

Waunakee FBLA partnered with Waunakee Neighborhood Connection for a toilet paper drive! 

FBLA sponsored a toilet paper drive for WNC.  The following FBLA student leaders volunteered to take lead this project:  Taylor Zimprich, Brandon Creamer, Alex Brost, and Brandon Jaeger.  The students understood the need all families have for essential items and developed the idea of a toilet paper drive.  WNC purple bins were placed at these local businesses:  Culver’s, Fitness for Success, Adventures in Learning, Curves, Piggly Wiggly, and Walgreens.

A service event also took place on Saturday, February 18, 2012 during the Waunakee High School boys’ varsity basketball game when the team hosted Milwaukee Washington High School.  The game and the FBLA event took place at the Waunakee High School Field House.  One dollar of every ticket sold to the game was donated to the WNC toilet paper drive - a total of over $300.  A purple bin was located at the game for attendees to donate toilet paper.  Also, the students put on an exciting and interesting halftime show to promote the toilet paper drive .

The halftime show involved four decirated toilet bowls!  The game consisted of four high school students from four different classes, attempting to make as many toilet paper roll “baskets” as possible, into the four porcelain bowls.  The winners received a prize from local businesses – but the biggest prize was the fun everyone had and the 1,500 toilet paper rolls donated to WNC.  Thank you to everyone who “rolled” in for the fun!

Congratulations Taylor Z!  Taylor earned a sixth place recognition at the National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida in June, 2011.  She competed in Accounting II against other FBLA members from around the nation.  We are very proud of her accomplishments!!

Waunakee FBLA Partners with NORD Gear

Waunakee FBLA members, Tiffany Kitsemble and Trent Nelson, pursued a community business partnership with a local company as part of a FBLA event for the 2009 State Leadership Conference.  The Partnership with Business Project encourages local FBLA chapters to get involved with a business in order to form a working business relationship that could benefit both the local members and the community.

As part of the partnership, executives from NORD Gear in Waunakee worked with WHS state qualifiers in order to help them prepare for their events at the State Leadership Conference.  The executives volunteered their time and expertise to work one-on-one with both individual FBLA members and teams to provide suggestions and feedback on performances and provided study sessions for written tests.  NORD Gear also had the opportunity to learn more about FBLA and the various events that are available for our students.  This local business opened it's doors for WHS students to see their facilities and learn more about their manufacturing business.

WHS FBLA would like to thank the following NORD Gear executives for their time:

• Terry Schadeberg
• Brian Baumgart
• Deb Baumann
• Kerry Hayden
• George Rizza
• Nick Roets
