Congratulations to everyone! 
 Today's Business Day event was a huge success as students hosted and sold their merchandise to the school community.  All students remained in role as they spread awareness about the importance of the pillar of education and supporting children in Haiti.  Students connected with various guests and made a true impression on how knowledgable they were as entrepreneurs and the importance of their role in Business Day.  We couldn't be more proud!
