PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs Fair

Grade 6 & 7 students at École Hammond Bay participated in PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs this Spring, culminating in a Fair on May 2nd.  

Young Entrepreneurs start their own business ventures and gain real life experience. They develop products, business plans and marketing materials, and earn money. The enterprising students also learn about social responsibility by donating a portion of their profits to charity. 

École Hammond Bay students were creative with their ideas, generous with their proceeds and learned some valuable business and marketing skills. Some items for sale included artwork, bookmarks made by a 3D printer, pins, jewellery, soap, pet rocks, crystals, driftwood holders, reusable bags, sanitizers, tie dye t-shirts, hand-made cards, key chains and more.
