3rd graders at Cherokee Charter Academy learned recently what it takes to be young entrepreneurs at the River Church Farmers Market. The 3rd grade classes developed small business plans and students worked on product development, pricing, and advertising. They learned the importance of connecting with the customer from operator Keith Booth of Chick-fil-A at the Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta who gave them expert customer service training. Tricia Nitti, director of River Church Farmers Market, also spoke with CCA students about market etiquette and discussed expectations and vendor responsibilities. The students sold a variety of items ranging from bird feeders and bracelets to dog biscuits and root beer floats. They also toured the market, talked with other vendors and participated in POP (Power of Produce) activities. The 11-hundred dollars raised from CCAs Market Day will go toward furnishing the schools outdoor classroom.
