Third-grade students at Oak Creek Elementary School (OCES) became entrepreneurs this month, creating products to sell to fellow students during lunch. The sale was the culmination of an economics learning unit that included coming up with the idea for a product, doing household chores to earn money to for product supplies, producing the product and then selling the product. All the products were priced at $6 or less, and all proceeds were donated to the Huckleberry House.
