EAST HILLS & HARBOR HILL
During the month of June, teams of fifth grade students at East Hills and Harbor Hill Elementary Schools participated in a “Shark Tank” like project, presenting fun and creative entrepreneurial ideas to audiences filled with parents. The presentations were the culmination of a five-month program, taught by Library Media Specialists, and derived from FreshINCedu—a curriculum that introduces and empowers young students to what it means to be an entrepreneur. The program includes curricular materials and support for teachers to guide students through the process of creating and launching a business.Text Link
