Get Your Hot Chocolate Here!

Our fourth grade students hope to see the Estes Bulldog Community at the Owensboro Christmas Parade. Why? Let me tell you why. The fourth graders have accepted the challenge from Junior Achievement of Owensboro to enter an entrepreneur competition. The challenge went out to 12 schools and we are one of four to be competing in the challenge.
The fourth students have been divided into three teams: business, marketing and construction.  Each team is learning about what it takes to be successful in the business world. This is an example of project based learning at its finest. At Estes we just don't push worksheets all day long. We want our students to know what the real world has in store for them. It is our job to give them the skills and knowledge to be successful students and citizens in the world. We want students to be collaborators, be creative, be able to communicate their thoughts and be critical thinkers.
Come out this Saturday to the parade and see and taste our final product. I don't want to give away too much, but I can tell you it will be a truly unique experience. Also, make sure you buy from us-don't be fooled by the competition.
