Week 8 EOC: Lemonade Day Final Project

Lemonade Day Final Project

So far for our final project, Lemonade Day, I have been brainstorming of different possibilities. In fact, I think I am too excited about this project and the most difficult part in this stage will be to narrow down my vision. I have a group of children in mind that I would like to ask to join me. The name of the school is Quest Academy Preparatory. They are a charter school with a few different locations in the city. The campus that I would like to ask to join me is their Bridger Campus. They are located near downtown Las Vegas.
I would love to be able to set up our business at The Container Park. It is a hip and highly foot trafficked location near the school. I know that The Container Park and Quest Academy Preparatory have already established a partnership. I think this would be the ideal place for these young entrepreneurs to begin their journey! The Container Park is home to many entrepreneurs in the city. I believe they would welcome us with open arms as well as be great supporters of what we are trying to teach these kids.
As far as the initial funding goes, I believe I can get the school’s PTO to donate the $35 dollars for our start-up cost. This amount of money will be utilized to make the initial purchase of supplies to produce our lemonade. The tables and some chairs could also be supplied by the school. I have a secondary group of children that I would like this project to impact. These kids are part of my kids’ ministry at Grace Christian Center. This group of kids have previously participated in fund raising. I have overseen those events before and would love to continue to teach the children more about pursuing financial independence.

I believe that this is going to be a very successful event. There is so much enthusiasm on my behalf and I look forward to channeling with the school’s administration, faculty and parents alike.

Week 5 EOC: Still Hanging In
A storekeeper had for some time displayed in his window a card inscribed 'Fishing Tickle.'
A customer drew the proprietor's attention to the spelling. 'Hasn't anyone told you of it before?' asked the patron.
'Oh, yes,' the dealer said placidly, 'many have mentioned it. But whenever they drop in to tell me, they always buy something.'
