About this Event
On November 21, our students open shop.
They’re 3 to 8 years old. Over the past 6 weeks, they picked a product, figured out what to charge, made their own marketing, and practised their pitch. Now they need customers.
That’s you.
Come browse the tables and buy something. Our entrepreneurs are taking cash only, so bring small bills and coins (it really helps when a 5-year-old is making change). And ask them how they built their business. They’ll tell you, in detail.
This is also our Exhibition of Learning, so the whole school is open. Take a tour, meet our guides and the team, and talk with current families about what a regular day at Acton looks like.
