On Wednesday, August 6, the Gibbon High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Chapter made a splash to start the 2025-2026 school year with its annual FBLA Pool Party at the Gibbon Swimming Pool. The event brought together FBLA officers, members, and non-members for an afternoon of fun, networking, and recruitment. The poolside gathering served as both a chance for returning members to reconnect and an opportunity to welcome potential new members before the start of the school year. “This event is a fun and relaxed way to start the year,” said FBLA Adviser Debra Stroh. “It helps new members feel welcome and returning members get excited about the year ahead.”
