DECA attends state conference with four members claiming state-wide honors







The Truman High School DECA Club attended the state conference in Grand Rapids over the weekend and four members won four state overall finalist medals.

Autumn Carson, Robert Helton, Dennis Kaminsky and Ryan Scarcliff claimed the state-wide honors, leading the DECA contingent of 40 members.

"Our students really behaved professionally," said DECA Advisor Carly Lundgren. "They represented Truman well and it was a great opportunity for all of them."

The DECA members had a chance to compete for scholarships and network with other marketing students, teacher and business professionals. They visited vendor booths from businesses and colleges and traveled around Grand Rapids.

They also took part in setting a new record for the most people doing the Harlem shake while wearing professional dress.

"The weekend was a success and I am very proud of all the students hard work and dedication this year," Lundgren said. "Thanks to all the people who have supported us in our fund raisers. Thanks to everyone who helped our students."
