NEWELL—Newell Middle School’s eighth-grade class set up booths for their Business Fair on February 13 at the Middle School gym. The Business Fair ran alongside the Science Fair from 8:15 to 11 a.m., with the public and other students showing up to support the eighth graders.
The business fair provided the class with an opportunity to work on personal projects and learn how to sell them, handle money, and run a mini business.
Brandyn Shaykett baked and sold cookies for 50 cents each. With the money he earned, he plans to “just save it. Save it for something good.” Karley Larson, another student, created candy animals and called them Karley’s Kandy Kritters. “I had dogs and butterflies,” she said. Sara Barden crocheted carefully hand-made scarves and bracelets. Other items sold ranged from balancing nails to arts and crafts to a variety of baked goods and everything in between.
