The 5th graders read "The Lemonade War" during the month of May. To celebrate finishing they competed in their own lemonade war. Students used what they learned about sales to create business plans, recipes, and analyze costs vs. profits. A huge thanks to the staff of Maple Grove and Kindergarten-6th grade for participating in our lemonade sales. The Jolly Surprise booth ran by Emily, Corbin, and Ava had the most sales. All of the students did an excellent job and had a great time!!
Students at the Jr/Sr High school building will be taking exams today and tomorrow.
