The sixth grade math class is currently studying business and economics. They are participating in a simulated project in which they have been given an opportunity to start and run their own friendship bracelet business. They incorporated with the state, sold shares of stock to the venture capitalist, purchased supplies, designed and manufactured their product, and ran marketing campaigns preceeding the Sales Bazaar.

Today's Sales bazaar was quite successful. Many students, parents, and teachers came out to support the sixth grade in their venture. During the last few minutes of the bazaar, many companies even ran inventory clearence sales. The sixth grade students decided at the beginning of this project to donate all profits to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund. (Not only are they excellent business persons, but philanthropists as well!)

Congratulations to all!
