📣 What a week for the Zane Trace BPA Chapter! 💼🎉 We kicked things off with a 2-day Bake Sale fundraiser — and it was a sweet success! 🍪🧁 A portion of the proceeds is going to the Ross County Special Olympics, helping boost the total raised during the Special Olympics Bowl-a-Thon back in late March. ❤️🎳 To wrap up the week, our members teamed up with the Chillicothe Chamber of Commerce and the Adena High School BPA chapter for the BPA Downtown Takeover! 🏙️✨ Students visited with 20 downtown business owners at their stores, learning the ins and outs of running a business — the wins, the challenges, and everything in between. And of course, a highlight for many was meeting Hershey the cat 🐾 at one local business — our students instantly fell in love! 😻 We’re proud of how our students showed up, stepped up, and represented ZT BPA in such a big way this week! 👏🙌 #ZaneTraceBPA #CommunityConnections #FutureBusinessLeaders #PRCTCProud

🚀✈️ Big congrats to our aviation students! This week, they tackled the USI - Safety Level 1 Certification under a serious time crunch ⏱️. The goal? Hit at least 50% — and 70% of our students did just that! 🙌 Even better? 3 students passed the entire certification! Congratulations, Ryan Forcum, Lochlin Odom, and Gabe Renner!💥 Special shoutout to Ryan and Gabe, who are now dual certified — they earned their Part 107 drone pilot license just last month, and now they’ve added another aviation credential to their name! 🛸📜 The best part? The rest of our students will get another shot at the certification next month, with enough time to fully cover the material and build on what they’ve already learned. We’re confident even more success is coming! 🌟 Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it — way to rise to the challenge! 🛩️💪 #AviationSuccess #USICertified #DronePilots #ProudTeacherMoment
