No homework again today.
The kids did a great job learning to be business owners today, at NIACC. They worked really hard today. It isn't your normal field trip. They learned how to keep track of business expenses, get a loan, write advertising, and create products. Maybe someday one of them will actually start their own business.
Tomorrow is our big concert. Make sure to come in time to look at the art work on display!
