The Charter Home Study Academy (CHSA) multipurpose room was filled with eager customers traveling from booth to booth and purchasing homemade creations from student business owners. November 17 was the 19th Annual Craft Faire, where transitional kindergarten through eighth-grade students sold holiday decorations, bracelets, paintings, apple cider, food, and more. The project exemplifies CHSA\u2019s mission, which emphasizes empowering students by building foundational skills and then applying those skills in ways that make learning engaging, relevant, and fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents gain valuable experience in economics and money management,\u201d School Administrator Dianne Deitchman, explained. \u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve added \u201cslogans and logos\u201d as a component this year, so the students experience another element of marketing. Some samples include \u201cGood Ole Coffee!\u201d, \u201cNothin\u2019 Beats Livin\u2019 on a Farm\u201d (wood decorations), and \u201cTame Those Tresses\u201d (hair accessories).\u201d<\/p>\n
After selling their wares, vendors visited classmates\u2019 booths to barter and purchase goods. Students also received prizes in categories such as Master Entrepreneurs, Best Marketing, Best Display, and Most Innovative Products.<\/p>\n
