On Thursday, November 15, students in\u00a0Yorba Linda High’s senior class participated in\u00a0the school’s annual business expo competition. Students worked for\u00a0months developing their business idea, creating prototypes\/visuals, researching the market\/industry, and crafting their business pitch.<\/p>\n

Each year, the intention of this expo is to prepare students to present the best versions of themselves to a potential employer, their boss, or clients. The Mustangs worked on crafting their words carefully and concisely, speaking with enthusiasm, communicating confidence with their body language, and making eye contact.<\/p>\n

The day of the event, teams presented unique business pitches to roughly\u00a030 community\u00a0judges. The judges then had the challenging task of distinguishing three business teams as finalists. Congratulations to the following Mustang seniors for their extraordinary work:<\/p>\n

Finalists<\/strong>
\n1st Place \u2013 Amanda Walion,\u00a0Alyssa Gaglia (What’s Poppin)
\n2nd Place \u2013\u00a0Jake Speyer (Live Med)
\n3rd Place \u2013\u00a0Samantha dela Bretoniere,\u00a0Kaitlin Thomas,\u00a0Avery Wellendorf (Magnet Decor Clips)<\/p>\n

YLHS extends great thanks to Will Taormina, the founder of the National Startup League, and teachers Samiya Hai, Lloyd Walls, Mark Honig, and Rey Lejano for making this event possible.<\/p>\n
