Seniors in the Political Studies class at Tippecanoe Valley
High School completed their business plan presentations on March 14th. During the first semester, students created a
business plan for a product or service. For
the second semester, the groups made a Power Point, stating the basic facts
about their business. These ideas were
then presented to an investor panel, who evaluated the presentations. The investors also decided how much money
each business would get.
Each group received an investment
ranging from $200 to $600. The highest
investment went to Boost Your Beauty (BYB), a not-for-profit service that
involves volunteers giving manicures to elderly women in nursing homes. Seniors Sofia Boganwright and Taylor Garringer
won the competition. Both students will
go to Boca Raton, Florida, where they will present their business plan. If Boganwright and Garringer win the
competition there, they will advance to the finals in Washington, D.C.
The Political Studies class has
completed many projects over the school year.
They have completed a business plan and created a marketing plan for the
Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation.
The students have also taken many field trips, including one to the
Indiana Statehouse. Finally, the seniors
in the class will have a YEA! graduation at the end of the year, with the
Indiana Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann as a guest speaker.
