The Francophone public school Sentiers-alpins is proud to host its very first
“Grand marché des petits entrepreneurs” (Young Entrepreneurs Market), a lively event showcasing the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of students aged 7 to 12.

On Wednesday, June 25, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., the school yard will be transformed into a bustling open-air market featuring over 40 student-run booths. The public is warmly invited to come discover a wide variety of handmade goods, tasty treats and creative services or prototypes, all designed, crafted and sold by the students themselves.

Each product will be priced between $2 and $20 — cash only. Every young entrepreneur will decide how to use their earnings: save it, reinvest it, donate it — the choice is theirs.

Leading up to the event, students will design promotional posters in class and display them around townand in their neighbourhoods to help spread the word and invite the community to attend.

Come celebrate creativity and entrepreneurial spirit — all in French!
