NIACC instructors came to visit the 5th grade today.
The Entrepreneur for a Day (E4D®) program is dedicated to teaching 5th grade students the fundamental principles of entrepreneurship and how to start a business. Students learn the distinct differences between becoming an entrepreneur and being an employee. One of the goals of the program  is to get kids thinking about being a job creator versus a job taker. We encourage them to understand that entrepreneurship is a viable career pathway.
◾During the first day, trained facilitators visit the students’ classroom and get them excited about the program by introducing terms and concepts of entrepreneurship.
 ◾The second day, students are invited to visit the NIACC campus where they choose a product, borrow money from a bank, buy resources they will need, make the product, then sell the product and determine if they made a profit.
◾The visit concludes with a tour of NIACC which offers students a sense of campus life, diversity, and validates college. Many of these students may be the first generation in their families to attend college, and the campus presence enables the students to make a post secondary connection.
Jacobson Elementary students will be going to NIACC next week. for the second session

A really neat program called Rockin’ Prevention is coming to work with our kids in the morning on bullying prevention.  Richard O. Jacobson donated money to this program, and in return he asked that they come to Jacobson and perform!  Go to http://www.rockinprevention.org/ to learn more about it!
We will begin our Growing up health talk on Friday and complete it on Monday.  Nurse D teaches the boys and Mrs. Kern teaches the girls class.  The kids usually end up with some questions after these days, so don’t be surprised.
