Business Day 2017

Congratulations to everyone! 
 Today's Business Day event was a huge success as students hosted and sold their merchandise to the school community.  All students remained in role as they spread awareness about the importance of the pillar of education and supporting children in Haiti impacted by the 2010 earthquake.  Students connected with various guests and made a true impression on how knowledgable they are as entrepreneurs and the importance of their role in Business Day.  
We are so proud! 
I am so proud to see you all step up as a leader!

Thank you to the students who helped out with the set-up and clean-up of the gym!
A special thanks to our parents for your continued support, behind the scenes and upfront!
