for his heart. The Blue Team’s show was
a "Kids 4 Kidz Game Show" theme with

over $380. Tickets to the show cost one dollar with an option to donate
more.
A message went out to the
The Fashion Show is an apprentice style assignment that is graded
as the final exam for the students in the Fashion and Entertainment Business
classes. Mrs. Lent explains that “this challenge is the culminating project
that demonstrates all the learning we did in class. Students are responsible
for all of the management functions of this event including marketing,
accounting, sales, talent management, site management, etc.”
Students will also be graded on their effort, teamwork,
preparation of the event, number of tickets sold, money raised, number of
people in attendance and professionalism.
"Students are using all of their creativity, accounting, computer,
people and management skills to make sure this event is a huge success. All of the students are putting in extra time
and are dedicated to their chosen charity.
It is such a great learning experience and rewarding to watch,"
Mrs. Lent comments.
