Thank yous!
Thank you to all of the volunteers who sat on our panel presentations for the Entrepreneurial Mindsets Gallery last month. Your feedback provided valuable next steps to all of our students for how to continue growing as professional communicators.
Student Highlights!
Special recognitions go to:
-
Lauren J, Allie C, Zoe C, Sarah H, and Kailey Z for answering the question what makes someone an entrepreneur in such a creative and knowledgeable way!

Projects! DireLights ~ Let Some Light In!
We just rolled out our second project of the year, DireLights ~ Let Some Light In! To learn more about what we will be exploring this month, read the Project Guidelines. Students will be answering the driving question, What makes a business work? Students will be taking on the job responsibilities of the position they were hired for as well as driving their own learning by choosing their own goals and tasks to keep the business running smoothly. They will be presenting their learning at various CCNTH event nights and field trips. To sign up to be a guest speaker, provide small group interviews, and/or offer your feedback in any other way please, CLICK HERE to sign up for a day and time to visit and work with us.
