THE LOCAL REVIEW
March Issue
The March issue of The Local Review is now available! Visit our Newsletters tab to check it out.
About Us:
We are a group of SHS students involved in the National Business Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America organizations. Over the past month, students have interviewed or researched various entrepreneurs and written articles, which we compiled to create our newsletter. Through this project, students gain real business knowledge and familiarize themselves with local businesses and their practices while simultaneously shining a spotlight on those businesses.
We hope that this newsletter helps highlight businesses and serves as a form of promotion; after all, recent months have made goings incredibly difficult for most businesses. We want this newsletter to help reinvigorate our small business community—it is more important than ever to shop small & local.
FBLA
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is a national organization that prepares high school students to enter the world of business. Simsbury High School's chapter of FBLA is the largest student run organization at the school. Members earn work experience by operating the School Store, participate in the Pens for Patriots community service project, learn about leadership from guest speakers, and compete at the State and National Leadership Conferences.
NBHS
National Business Honor Society (NBHS) is a national organization for students who excel in business classes. Our Simsbury High School chapter of NBHS consists of active FBLA members who have taken and performed well in at least three business classes. NBHS members fulfill a service requirement through a variety of activities, such as writing articles for The Local Review.
