Because of budget cuts, the school did not offer a TREP$ program last year. This year, it was open to sixth- and seventh-graders and 130 students signed up.
TREP$, short for enTREPreneur$, is a project-based learning program that teaches students in grades 5-8 how to start their own businesses.
Recently, local business owners spoke with the Glen Meadow students about their business plans and offered suggestions. The businesses included Highland Florist, Finish Line, CBK Auto, Fox & the Bear Lodge, Ace Valley Paint and Hardware, and more.
