At Village Elementary we have a fifth grade  Business Fair every year to help raise money for our fifth grade field trip . The fifth graders make at  least 20 items to raise money for our field trip, and in doing so, we earned approximately $1,840. Some of the products sold in the fundraiser were slime, jewelry, decorated magnets, & reindeer food (oats & edible glitter {NOT for humans to eat}), ornaments, ect. The Business Fair is to help fifth graders learn about entrepreneurship and how to own our own business.

Most of the kids sold all of their items , and  we raised a large amount of money for the Fifth grade field trip.The items’ prices ranged around $1.00 to $10.00. Some of the items were wacky and funny, such as Dennie’s sleeping style pillow cases, Mattie’s fab bracelets, Brooke’s amazing pixel jewels, Mario’s jolly greeting cards, Samantha’s super slim, Shailey’s decorative wood blocks, Ashlyn’s fab phone holders, and Nate’s license plates bird houses.

Some of the previous fifth grade field trips were SeaWorld, Stunt Ranch, and Reunion Ranch. This year’s fifth grade field trip is going to be a surprise to the fifth graders.

So, overall we learned that the fifth graders love doing the Business Fair because ,it`s a fun way to get involved in helping your school,and learning about how to own our own business ,and how to be entrepreneurs.
