Today we had the opportunity to speak with the third grade class at Neligh-Oakdale Public Schools. They’re starting a unit on businesses next week, so as a local business owner, I was invited to share how I got started, what the journey has been like, and some of the day-to-day realities of running a business.
I also brought along some tools and demonstrated a few techniques I use regularly, which they really seemed to enjoy.
At the end, I asked them what helps them stay cool in the summer I was expecting “air conditioning,” but every single one said “ice cream.” Lucky for them, I came prepared.
Big thanks to Mrs. Arehart and Mrs. Anderson for inviting me into their classroom. It was a fun and rewarding experience!
