On March 5 -7, nine Global Connections High School students attended the DECA State Competition in Bellevue. Seven students placed as overall winners and will advance on to the International DECA Competition in Anaheim, California in April.

Matt Kennedy and Jimmy Cheng placed fifth in the Internet Marketing event. Crystal Rivera and Charizz Legaspi placed fifth in the Learn and Earn Project; they showcased the Global Connections 2008 Italian Dinner and Auction. Sara Flores, Cortney Hines, and Ravyn Guy took first place in the Learn and Earn Project for their presentation on Tyee’s annual holiday bazaar.

To raise funds for students’ expenses to travel to the International Competition, the Global Connections DECA chapter will host the 2009 Italian Dinner and Auction in the Tyee Cafeteria on April 8, 5 – 7:30 pm. All are welcome; tickets are $8 available in advance and at the door.
