The Youth Business Institute (YBI) Fashion Production by the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) was held on Mar. 7 in the multipurpose room during second and third period. DECA is an association of students who have an interest in marketing, merchandising, management and entrepreneurship. All students and teachers were invited to attend the show at no cost. Students in the Fashion Marketing class modeled and participated in the fashion show.
The sponsor of DECA, Alice McKinney, discussed the people behind the scenes of the fashion show.
“The Fashion Marketing class is powered by the TJMaxx Corporation,” McKinney said. “They come to the school and help the students prepare for the business word by teaching sessions on: time management, resume writing, employment applications,arships.”
During the fashion show, the fashion marketing students taught show attendees the difference between appropriate and inappropriate interview outfits. MicKinney hopes the students continue to take what they learn from the TJMaxx sessions when applying for jobs in the near future.

“We are hoping to impact the students to select better choices of clothing for their job search,” McKinney said.
