A Warm Start for the Enterprise Group’s Hot Chocolate Stall!
This week, our enterprising pupils have launched a hot chocolate stall that’s set to become a breaktime favourite! 🥤🍫 Running every Monday and Wednesday, the stall gives students the perfect way to warm up, relax, and enjoy a tasty treat between lessons. Today marked the official kick-off, and it was a resounding success. Nearly the entire school popped by to show support, and the enterprise team raised over £20 in just one morning! 💰👏
Today’s talented crew — Maya, Myra, Robin, Danna, and Noah — managed everything from setting up the stall to serving each eager customer with a smile 😊. A huge thank you to Miss Corrigan for coming in to support the children and lend a helping hand! The group’s hard work and excellent teamwork paid off, making the stall’s first day a triumph. We captured some fantastic photos showing the group in action, with classmates lined up and enjoying their drinks. 📸
We’re excited to see this project grow and watch our enterprise team gain valuable experience with each stall. Here’s to more hot chocolate, community spirit, and budding entrepreneurs! 🌟
