The 3rd grade class, along with Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Hartshorn, and Mrs. Short, would like to thank everyone who came out and supported these young entrepreneurs. A special thank you to our neighbors at Glenville Health and Rehabilitation for being our first customers, and to the parents for helping support this endeavor.
🏆 Congratulations to our winners:
1st Place: The Lemonade Slayers (Paisley Armstrong, Ryann Hartshorn, Raegan Hartshorn, Robert Moneypenny, and Tristan Williams)
2nd Place: The Dolphins (Rayden Tomblin, Josephine Moore, Madison Moyers, Kenton Minney, and Easton Hickman)
