My Project

I am a co-teacher for my school’s 3rd - 6th grade enrichment class. The students selected for enrichment exhibit critical thinking skills and love doing hands on projects. Having an opportunity to make connections of academics to the real world will greatly benefit their learning experience. We want to launch a student-led company that sells products to our school community

The goal is not to make money but to provide an opportunity for our young learners to gain the practical experience and sense of responsibility in running a small business.

They will give input on items sold, advertise and promote sales, organize orders, and manage money.

Furthermore, this will engage our entire student body. Through an interest survey, we have learned that our students love the arts, visual arts to be specific. We would like to invite all students to submit their creative artwork for the potential to be used on school swag. This process give students voice and choice, fostering a strong sense of school pride and ownership. Your contribution will directly support this endeavor, investing in our students' future and enriching our school community.
