The Canastota High School Future Business Leaders of America chapter attended the annual Spring District Meeting held at Morrisville State College Thursday, Jan. 4. Eighteen Canastota High School students and one Junior High member attended the all-day event along with nearly 125 members from 10 chapters within Madison, Oneida, and Herkimer counties. The activities of the day included written and performance competitive events in the areas of business and technology. Canastota High School and Jr. High School members came away with several awards including two members advancing directly to the state level of competition. Two members will serve as alternates. District 7 is allowed two entries in each event. Emily Case, Carley Cashel, Lucas Barnello, Matt McDermott and April Dabrowski served as District Officers and assisted the State Vice President for District 7, Alexis Venettozzi from Little Falls High School, during the meeting.
