Recently, one of the Vice Presidents from the <strong>Ruston</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> Future Business<br />
Leaders of America volunteered at A.E. Phillips, as a requirement for FBLA‘s Business<br />
Level of the Business Achievement Awards (BAA). Brittany White, along with her<br />
friend Heather Tanner, read a well known book by Dr. Seuss, ―The Lorax,‖ and helped<br />
the students plant sunflower seeds in cups to take home. The two students started off by<br />
reading the Dr. Seuss book to the well behaved A.E. Phillips Kindergarteners. Brittany<br />
and Heather read the book with much enthusiasm as the students enjoyed every bit of it.<br />
After reading the book, the students moved into the activity space where they then<br />
had a cup of starter soil handed to them to put in their own cup. Next, the students<br />
passed around a cup with sunflower seeds in it and each took a seed to bury in their soil.<br />
Brittany and Heather went around and watered each of the kindergarteners cups with<br />
just enough water to start if off. The students were told to water their flower every day<br />
with just a small amount of water. Overall everyone had a fun and joyful experience.<br />
This was a great educational experience for both Brittany and Heather and especially<br />
the kindergarteners.<br />
To learn more about the BAA program, contact Brittany White, as she has now completed<br />
both the Future and the Business Level Awards and is now working towards<br />
competing for the Richard D. Clanton Memorial Scholarship at the Louisiana FBLA<br />
State Conference.<br />

Students with their projects.<br />
PCI has been meeting every Tuesday after<br />
school in Mrs. Dunbar‘s room because students<br />
from Louisiana Tech have been coming to<br />
share knowledge about life after high school<br />
and college choices. College is very important<br />
and everyone should want to attend. These<br />
delicate choices will determine where you end<br />
up in life. There are several colleges around the<br />
<strong>Ruston</strong> and Monroe area that students can attend.<br />
PCI is getting students ready for the future<br />
so they can excel and succeed in life. If<br />
you‘re not ready for a 4-year university/<br />
college, you can always attend a vocational<br />
college. So what do you want to do with your<br />
life MAKE DECISIONS THAT WILL BET-<br />
TER YOUR FUTURE!
