Second Annual Meme Contest
Mr Groberman has charged our boys with creating memes as a way to creatively reflect what they have been learning about business and entrepreneurship. From the entries, one winner has been selected from each grade. The winners each received $20. Below are the winners and their memes.
At the annual “Boys in Business” © Business Fair, young entrepreneurs in Grades K-9 showcase and sell their creations to the local community.
Hosted by North Point School, this event held in June each year is the culmination of months of planning and hard work by our students as part of the Financial Academy curriculum. They plan, create and launch a student-business to sell their products or services at this one-day business fair. Students keep the money they earn.
The Boys in Business Fair is a key component of the Financial Academy curriculum taught at North Point.
