MHS Entrepreneurs Make Donation to the Corey Shea Memorial Scholarship

Mansfield High School’s Entrepreneurship students successfully ran a small business selling custom “Support Our Troops” bracelets during the winter trimester. Students presented their business proposals to each other and decided as a group to pursue the bracelet project. They collaborated to design the logo that would be printed on the bracelets, and then worked on how to market the business and increase sales. After analyzing their finances, students determined that $501 would be donated to the Corey Shea Memorial Scholarship on behalf of Mansfield High School. This is the largest amount donated by any class completing this project.

Since the inception of this “small business” project in Mrs. Prester’s Entrepreneurship classes, students have donated over $4,300 to local charities and organizations, while also funding future trimesters of Entrepreneurship students to complete the same project. The project was born from a grant awarded by the Mansfield Education Foundation to increase classroom innovation and authentic learning experiences.
