STUDENT-OWNED.
HYPERLOCAL. 

This website promotes students at Shawnee Mission West, and other SMSD schools, who have started their own businesses. Each student-owned business is a separate organization with its own policies and processes.

Promoting students who start businesses in our school district and shopping hyperlocal is essential for the economic growth of our community. 

Encouraging students to start businesses not only promotes creativity and innovation, but it also helps to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset that will serve them well throughout their lives. 

This website promotes K-12 students who own their own businesses and are learning through real sales. Each student-owned business is a separate organization with its own policies and processes.

It was helpful for me to work on my business at school because in this project I was able to calculate the things I need and write out what I need to be successful.
