Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 5th and 6th grade students will not be attending the track meet tomorrow, April 8. 🏃♂️❌
Instead, students will travel to the high school track and practice events tomorrow afternoon. 🏟️💪
Thank you for your understanding! 😊
Students will step into the role of a business leader by joining a “company,” working as a team, and competing in real-world business challenges. Along the way, they will build skills in leadership, communication, teamwork, money management, entrepreneurship, and marketing while learning directly from business professionals. Students will also experience college life, meet new people, explore career options, and have opportunities to earn scholarships and prizes.
The cost starts at $200 and includes housing and meals for the entire week, with additional merit- and need-based scholarships available so that finances are not a barrier.
Spots are limited to 60 students, and the final application deadline is May 1, so do not wait to apply.
