Charter Students = Young Entrepreneurs

The 3rd grade classes developed small business plans and students worked on product development, pricing, and advertising.

They learned the importance of “connecting with the customer” from operator Keith Booth of Chick-fil-A at the Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta who gave them expert customer service training.

Tricia Nitti, director of River Church Farmer’s Market, also spoke with CCA students about “market etiquette” and discussed expectations and vendor responsibilities.

The students sold a variety of items ranging from bird feeders and bracelets to dog biscuits and root beer floats.

They also toured the market, talked with other vendors and participated in “POP” (Power of Produce) activities.

The 11-hundred dollars raised from CCA’s Market Day will go toward furnishing the school’s outdoor classroom.
