My Project

My students would like to be able to sponsor school dances to help raise funds to support student reward incentives and field trips. This project will allow students to decorate and create a photo booth for all school dances. Them being able to do this will help with develop various entrepreneurship skills. They will be the event planners for all school dances and also be the photographers for all school events.

This project will allow them to build school spirit while learning and applying necessary entrepreneurship skills.

They will be able to cut major costs if they receive all the materials in this project.
