What a fun and creative last Mentor Day! The students planned a competition for their mentors - a pitch contest about their mentees’ businesses (plus a game of rock, paper, scissors).

See you all at the CEO Trade Show happening Wednesday, April 29th from 4:30-7:30pm and Thursday, April 30th from 4:30-6:30pm at Northland Mall in Sterling.
