They are teaching business at an early age at Lee Elementary in Rossmoor. Recently, students put together a business day event on the school’s playground. The students were given the task of creating a business plan, marketing strategy and manufacturing of a product of the student’s choosing. The school project culminated last Tuesday, when each group set up a stand to sell their goods to their fellow students during business day, which is put on by all elementary schools in Los Alamitos and Rossmoor. Students were given fake money to buy products developed by their classmates and the goal of each team was to sell the most of their product. Pictured here is Lee Elementary Principal Amy Laughlin, who could not resist buying one of the designer wallets from fifth grader Troy Michaelsen and his business team. Troy’s team eventually sold out of this hot selling item.
