Spanish Oaks Mini Society

Submitted by sherri.peterson on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 15:51

5th Grade had Mini Society today and it was a HUGE success. Students come up with a business to run for a day for students at the school.  Students earn "money" throughout the year that they then use to purchase land, business licences, etc., and even have to take mock food handler's test.  This year, we had a terrific group of entrepreneurs with a variety of businesses such as games, beauty salons, target shoots, sport venues, and some very talented face painters among other things.  Thanks to all the parents who helped their student prepare for this very much anticipated day!!!
