The Litchfield FBLA officers attended
Fall Leadership in Kearney on
September 25th. The officers attended a
general session with other FBLA chap-
ters across the state and then received
information and training for their respec-
tive office position. Some of the infor-
mation the students returned with includ-
ed service and fundraising projects in
addition to ribbon projects they can com-
plete for state. Students were able to
gather together at the end of the day to
work on their chapter program of work
and learn about State Leadership oppor-

New Teacher, Lynette Finley
Lynette Finley joined the Litchfield teaching staff this school year as the Business
Instructor and coach. Mrs. Finley has a Bachelors in Business Administration and
Business Education from UNK. She also has a Masters in Education from Wayne
State College. She worked in the healthcare industry in accounting and managing
for 10 years before entering education.
Her experience includes 15 years of teaching in high schools, community college
and universities for graduate programs. Mrs. Finley is the Business Teacher, FBLA
Sponsor, Junior High Girls Basketball coach and Co-Head high school track. She
likes teaching high school to help students be better prepared for higher education
or workforce by teaching them life skills. Finley also likes teaching in high school
to expose students to leadership and skills through FBLA. Finley hopes to build the FBLA group to a
strong, viable chapter that is competitive at the state and national level.
Her favorite subjects to teach are personal finance and career development because those classes have a
direct relationship for students to the real world, no matter what their plans are. The information learned
in those classes are things all students need to be prepared for upon graduation. Some of the other
classes new at Litchfield this year are Agribusiness, Accounting, and Business Communications. Her
husband is Wade Finley, the Superintendent here at the Litchfield High School. Her children are Adam,
Samantha, Erin and Calvin, who is a freshman at Litchfield. She also has one grandson Jax. Mrs. Finley
has been a great addition to our school and we hope she likes working at Litchfield.
