Simply the Best
United FBLA Returns from State Conference

Click here to view a video highlight from the conference.
United students appear at the beginning and end of the video!!!  

The Pennsylvania FBLA State Conference was held in Hershey, Pennsylvania from April 12-14, 2010. While at the conference, students participated in their competitive events, workshops, and various other activities. With over 4,000 people in attendance at the conference, this was a great networking opportunity and learning experience for our students.

We also learned what happens when the hotel's sprinkler system gets activated from a fire alarm.....  

 United students made the best of our time spent in the hotel's lobby by ordering pizza!!!
We were not allowed back in our rooms until after 1 am.
