The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a program at Boone High that introduces students to the world of technology and other topics in the category. The leader of the association is Boone High School’s science teacher, Shelly Vanyo. On November 23rd and 24th at 3:20 p.m. the TSA students are voting for officers and signing up for competitions the group wants to participate in. They plan to learn more about events offered and choose the ones they most want to do. The meetings are held in Vanyo’s room and the deadline for joining has not passed.
TSA is an organization for students who have a strong interest in technology. This organization is involved in many team building exercises as well as challenging competitions, leadership, community service opportunities, STEM, and much more. There are activities for a wide variety of interests for any student to participate in, and Vanyo encourages students to join. She says, “I’m brand new, I’ve never done TSA”, but she’s excited to see where the program leads.
Vanyo estimates that she will have 30 to 60 students involved in TSA this year, but all are welcome and she’s hopeful that the number of participants will exceed her expectations. Vanyo also says that the program plans to fundraise and raise money so any TSA student can go to state competitions instead of just a select few.
Vanyo wishes to keep the program going because she thinks it’s a good way for students to show their talents in an alternative way. Her favorite part of the program is that there is such a variety of activities for anyone who wants to participate.
