The Lower and Middle division homerooms have been creating companies as part of the Future Holders Entrepreneurship Project, Turning Thoughts into Things, since mid-November.

Students have been learning and practicing many skills along the way and on Thursday, May 11, all of their products will be on sale at a Marketplace held at Chartwell from 1:30-3:00 pm. Parents and caregivers from all divisions are welcome to come to support the students and purchase their creative products (cash only).

Fifty percent of the money earned will go to a charity (not yet decided); 25% will go to help with end-of-the-year parties, celebrations, and gifts and the final 25% helps provide seed money for the project next year.

The chart below shows each homeroom's product and price range. We hope you will come out and support our students' innovation and hard work.

We are excited to bring back the Chartwell Lower and Middle School Moving Up Ceremony this year!
