GBW Market Day 2025

market 2

 

 

Second grade Market Day was a huge success! Students worked hard to plan, create, advertise, and sell products to first grade consumers. Many students worked together during this process and strengthened their Portrait of a Graduate (POG) skills as communicators and collaborators.

Way to go 2nd graders!
