Nine members of West Islip High School’s Future Business Leaders of America Club attended the Adelphi Apprentice Challenge on Oct. 9, where they participated in an educational marketing conference alongside approximately 300 high school students.

The event provided FBLA members with a real-world opportunity to apply their marketing knowledge, develop their business skills, and demonstrate their creativity and problem-solving abilities in a competitive environment.

Representing West Islip were Sienna Richardelli, Avery Heuer, Gabriella Liriano, Gabriella Mercante, Marccello Attallah, Shiloe Khokhar, Juliana Tussie, Jack Grover and Matthew Schlitt. West Islip students achieved an outstanding result, with Attallah and Liriano placing in the top five in the challenge.
