Zane Trace BPA Brings Christmas Spirit to Veterans
During their Christmas party on Friday, December 8, 2023, the Zane Trace BPA chapter members collaborated to spread some holiday joy to the veterans at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center. Adhering to COVID restrictions, the chapter couldn't visit the veterans in person. Instead, they signed over 70 Christmas cards and prepared goodie bags filled with candy, which were then delivered to Voluntary Services Chief Jaime Russel.




Business Professionals of America Day was hosted by the Columbus Blue Jackets!
On November 9, 2023, more than 1000 BPA students from all over Ohio, including the ZT BPA chapter, were extended an invitation to Nationwide Arena. A panel of executives from the Columbus Blue Jackets led discussions on marketing, product development, and ticket sales, providing valuable insights into the business side of the organization.
In addition to the informative sessions, participants engaged in other activities such as ice skating and a comprehensive tour of Nationwide Arena, where they learned about the arena's history. A big thank you to Zane Trace, Pickaway-Ross Career and Technology Center, and the Columbus Blue Jackets for the opportunity to participate. We eagerly anticipate the possibility of attending again next year!
Go Jackets!







Congratulations to our November PBIS Students of the Month!
