Blach and Egan Holiday Faires
Showcase Student Entrepreneurship and Creativity
On Friday, December 7, Blach and Egan 7th and 8th graders put their creativity and entrepreneurial spirits to work at the school Holiday Faires.
Although participation is voluntary, the majority of students at both schools participate in the annual event. Students work individually or in groups to generate ideas, design their products, create business plans, and make unique display booths to market their handcrafted wares at the Holiday Faire.
“The event encourages our students to get out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves to develop effective business plans and sales pitches, which are very persuasive. I always leave the faire with dozens of special, unique gifts and treats for family and friends,” explained Bhavna Narula, Principal at Blach Junior High.
The event not only invites the community to participate, but also gives back to the school. Much of the proceeds and registration fees are donated to Blach and Egan to support libraries, school events and educational resources.
“It takes perseverance and creativity to make a product to sell for the Holiday Faire,” explains Keith Rocha, Principal at Egan. “Students have the freedom to generate their own ideas and create a product they feel will be marketable to the clientele. It’s an exciting and very rewarding process that helps build entrepreneurial skills, teamwork and risk-taking, which are essential skills for high school, college and future careers.”
