The YEC is hosted by Grow Hays and it offers an opportunity for students to develop written and oral communication skills, learn introductory business concepts and use higher-order thinking skills and problem-solving. Students had to create their own business plan, executive summary, financial projections, web-site, and oral presentations. The students have all been working hard and will have an opportunity to practice their YEC presentation on Thursday, November 7th in the TMP-M HS cafeteria to students and staff. The actual competition is open to the public and will start at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, November 13th. Good luck to all our Entrepreneurship students.

Kapaun and his heroic life in the POW camp during the Korean War. At the Motherhouse, the students ate a picnic lunch, played around on the property, and learned more about the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima . They also got to meet Trudy, the Sister's convent dog.
