Business Plan Competition - May 2009
 
Students in Ms. Demchak's Business Management Class were assigned the task of working in groups of two or three to develop a unique, professional business plan that would be a viable business idea in our community.  The project requirement consisted of a written business plan, Power Point presentation, and website.
 
Business Advisory Board Members served as judges during the Business Plan Competition, watching students present their business plans and completing evaluation forms for each group presentation. 
 
Thank you to all of our judges for their time and dedication to our students.  Congratulations to our winning teams for a job well done!
