Student Business Showcase: A Celebration of Young Entrepreneurs’ Success
The Student Business Showcase was a resounding success, bringing together students, parents, and teachers to celebrate the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of our young innovators.
Each class presented their projects with confidence, demonstrating impressive problem-solving skills and business acumen. The showcase not only highlighted the students' hard work but also provided a fantastic opportunity for them to engage with real customers as they sold their products. The event ran smoothly, with enthusiastic participation from both students and attendees. Parents enjoyed seeing the innovative ideas come to life, and the ticketing system worked seamlessly, making purchases easy and accessible.
Overall, the showcase was a wonderful culmination of our six-week PBL on Business, leaving everyone inspired and proud of the students’ achievements.
With this event, Jupiter classroom officially kickstarted its crowdfunding campaign. This is the video that students have created to launch their project to raise funds for leveling up our science lab with equipment and kits for next level experiments.

Kai's favorite ISSAC memory is when he visited Universal Studios, and visited The Homer Donut, which is 80 ft tall. Kai wants to attend LSU for college because Justin Jefferson went to school there.

Message from Hiroshi Sensei about Japanese
"Konnichiwa Minna-san!
In February, students in Japanese deepen their learning in Japanese about 12 animals of the zodiac. The students were making flashcards to remember names and do quizzes on their chromebook. This month, students are learning about the Japanese Doll's Festival (Hinamatsuri). Also, as a year-long review, we are reviewing the 55 basic words that are used every day from the list below."
