FBLA Students Excel at Region 22 Leadership ConferenceJanuary 12, 2026Students from Western Wayne High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter competed at the Region 22 Leadership Conference, held at The University of Scranton, earning numerous top finishes and qualifying several students for the FBLA State Leadership Conference.
Western Wayne students competed in both objective testing events, which require mastery of business concepts through rigorous, timed exams, and performance events, where students demonstrate leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills through presentations, interviews, and case-based scenarios before panels of judges. These competitions reflect a high level of academic rigor and require extensive preparation, professionalism, and commitment beyond the classroom.
Student Leadership HighlightIn addition to competitive success, Madelyn McClure was elected and officially installed as Region 22 FBLA President for the 2026–2027 school year. Madelyn previously served as Region 22 Secretary, where she helped organize meetings, support regional officers, and lead conference programming throughout the year. Her election reflects her strong leadership skills, dedication to service, and commitment to advancing FBLA opportunities for students across the region.
The Western Wayne FBLA chapter is advised by Christine McClure, with additional leadership support from Tim McClure and Megan Rush. Participation in the Region 22 Leadership Conference highlights the rigor of the FBLA program and the dedication of students who commit to extensive preparation, leadership development, and professional growth. Western Wayne FBLA congratulates all competitors and looks forward to representing the district at the FBLA State Leadership Conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania, this coming April.

Western Wayne Students “Link Up” GratitudeJanuary 8, 2026Students at Western Wayne High School took a moment to pause and reflect during a recent whole-school engagement activity hosted by the Inclusion Club. Throughout the day, students and staff were invited to write down something they were thankful for on colorful paper slips.Each message was added to a growing “thankfulness chain,” which quickly stretched through the school as a bright reminder of gratitude, kindness, and community. From family and friends to teachers, pets, and simple everyday joys, the chain captured hundreds of heartfelt moments.The activity brought smiles, sparked conversations, and reminded everyone that even small acts of reflection can bring a school community closer together. The Inclusion Club, advised by Mrs. Rebecca Banik, Ms. Siena Cardamone, and Mrs. Christine McClure, hopes the chain serves as a lasting symbol of connection and appreciation throughout the year.
