Part of The Bird on Fire’s What’s in the News
By 8th-Grade Blogger Soleil Antle
The Palm Valley School seventh-grade Entrepreneurship students worked countless weeks on their sales bazaar for all the teachers, students, and faculty members. They were selling homemade custom products, varying from pickles to 3D printables. Let’s look at an inside scoop of what people were selling!
Savannah Sanchez was selling her signature sweets: cake pops! She had two flavors, vanilla and chocolate, both topped with the perfect amount of sprinkles. They were only $3.00 dollars, and she described them as high quality and delicious.
Olivia Sullivan created a sticker lab. She made these on her own! All you had to do was send her a photo of what you wanted as a sticker, and she printed it out, colored it, and then made it a sticker. She sold three stickers for $4.00 dollars, six stickers for $9.00 dollars, and nine stickers for $10.00 dollars with an additional special offer for the first 20 people who placed an order with her.
Charlie Joyce, Miller Bacal, and Rowan Mathews sold pasta. $8.00 dollars for a full pound of either spaghetti or fettuccine??!! That sounds like a steal! The boys describe their food as incredibly good, as they buy their high quality ingredients from Whole Foods. Food lovers lined up for this.
Cleo Antle made Tate 4 Tat cosmetics, where she sells custom lip glosses and perfumes, as well as facial spray. She has 36 scents that you can add to the products, with a bunch of colors, which is of course optional, but it for sure gives us a big variety. Her price range is from $1-8.00 dollars.
Greenlee Bartley and Lina Kakoussian sold homemade Taba Squishies for $3.00 dollars and hand sanitizers for $4.00 dollars. Their business is called the Nik-Nak-Shak; they describe their products as fun cures for boredom while also being quiet so that you can play with the squishies during class and not make a disturbance. Their hand sanitizer sanitizes your hands and smells especially good.
As you can see the seventh graders put their heads together to make smart business moves. They went on to sell their products at the end-of-year bazaar. People from all over the Palm Valley community supported these students; it looked like the best year yet. Want to see the products up close?
