School Supply List 2026
We want to offer a sincere apology for an important recognition we unfortunately missed in our recent newsletter. Several Lima High School BPA students had outstanding success at the BPA State Leadership Conference, and we want to make sure they receive the congratulations they deserve. All of our students are very important to us!
Please join us in celebrating Rayne Kindberg, who was named State Champion in Fundamentals of Web Design and also placed 10th in Computer Modeling. Rayne, along with Kiersten Bernard, earned the Statesman’s Torch Award, recognizing their leadership, service, and dedication to BPA. Kiersten also placed 6th in Health Administration Procedures.
We are also incredibly proud that the Lima High School BPA Chapter received the Spirit of Professionalism Award. This honor is voted on by other BPA chapters and speaks volumes about the character and professionalism of our students. The traveling trophy is on display in the school lobby, please stop in and take a look.
Rayne Kindberg and Kiersten Bernard will travel to Nashville in early May to represent Lima School at the BPA National Leadership Conference alongside our Junior High team of Audrianna Bernard, Sadie Wendt, and Zoey Cypher, who placed 2nd in Video Production, earning them a seat at the national table. Audrianna also placed 4th in Spreadsheet Applications, with Sadie Wendt finishing 5th.
Congratulations to all of these students! We are incredibly proud of the way you represent Lima School and our community.
Please like and follow the Lima BPA on Facebook to follow more of their adventures!
Our HS & JH BPA Chapters qualified to compete at National Competition in May. The members are creating t-shirts to wear in Nashville. They are looking for community support to help cover travel, lodging, and competition costs. A great way to offer your support and get recognized would be to donate to have your name, logo, or both added to the back of their t-shirts. Every donation makes a difference. Please consider donating & thank you for supporting our students!
