Batesville, In. — The students in Miss Trenkamp’s 8th grade Economics class just finished an entrepreneurship project.
Students were divided into groups and asked to form a business and sell a product of some kind. They sold these items four Wednesday mornings from 7:30-7:55 a.m. prior to school starting.
They were also instructed to sell or do something that didn’t pertain to food so we kept our allergy kids safe.
They thought outside the box and came up with the following ideas: slime, nail spa, photo booths, stress balls, bouncy balls, pencils, paper, letters to Santa, bookmarks, and squishes.
Their overall profit was $780 dollars, which they donated to the Ripley County Humane Society. Janet Orr from the Ripley County Humane Society came with a puppy to receive this and share the puppy love with the 8th graders.
This was definitely a job well done by all, and many important skills were learned during this project.
