Superior East Community Futures Development Corporation in partnership with Head Start in Business will be introducing the 2017 edition of the Market Your Thoughts and Create a Logo Contests. Create a Logo is a contest for grades 3 – 6 to create a logo for a business they would like to start. Market Your Thoughts asks students in grades 7 & 8 to write an essay about a business they would like to open. The contests are a great way to introduce the option of entrepreneurship to students at a young age. Representatives from Superior East and Head Start plan to launch this year’s contests in March so watch for more information to come.
