Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!
Earlier this spring, the Superior East CFDC in partnership with the Head Start in Business Initiative delivered two youth entrepreneurship programs called “Create a Logo” and “Market Your Thoughts”.
The programs are designed for students in grades 3 to 8 to help promote entrepreneurship. The Create a Logo program asks students in grades 3 to 6 to design a logo for a business. For Market Your Thoughts, the grade 7 & 8 students are asked to write an essay on a business they would like to establish. All schools within the region were invited to participate. The entries are judged by local individuals to determine the winners. The winners were then forwarded to the Northern Regional level for a chance to win $100.
Create a Logo: GRADE 3 – Blake Cliffe, St-Joseph French Immersion, Wawa; Jeffory Binda, St-Joseph French Immersion, Wawa
Create a Logo: GRADE 4 – Adriana Mable Casavant, École St-Joseph, Wawa; Ashton Kiddle, Sir James Dunn School, Wawa; Ava White, St-Joseph French Immersion, Wawa
Market Your Thoughts: GRADE 8 – Anna Makowski, Sir James Dunn School, Wawa
Create a Logo & Regional Winner (GRADE 5) – April Charbonneau, St-Joseph French Immersion, Wawa
Now that the competition has ended, Phil Dittburner, Program Coordinator – Head Start in Business and Chantal Croft, Community Development Officer – Superior East CFDC awarded certificates to students who participated in the two programs and a total of 7 winners within our region. The winners received a cheque for $25 and were also presented with a t-shirt and a water bottle.
Also this year we had the honour to present one of the six regional awards to a student in schools of the Superior East region!!! Congratulations to April Charbonneau, our regional winner!
Superior East would like to thank all of the schools that participated in this year’s program.
