SIFE members compete, place in finals

Projects included in the presentation were SIFE's visits to area middle schools for junior achievement programs and volunteering at La Accion Social, a community service center for Hispanic and Latino immigrant and refugee families. At least 200 hours combined went into creating the presentation by 20 active SIFE members. Last year, SIFE won the SIFE USA Regional Competition and advanced to nationals in Kansas City, Mo., but did not place.
