Grade 4 Students from Stevensville Public School and Glynn A Green Public School were set up in the atrium and prepared with sales pitches to attract parched customers from the Brock community.
Sponsored by FirstOntario Credit Union, the event saw Brock’s Goodman Group welcome 60 young entrepreneurs to campus to set up lemonade stands they designed and built to market and attract customers.
FirstOntario’s support of the Goodman Lemonade program, which has been teaching Niagara elementary students the basics of running a for-profit business since 2017, is part of a four-year partnership with Brock to help students of all ages build financial literacy skills through the development of innovative, student-centred programming. In addition to its support of other Brock financial literacy programming, FirstOntario’s support will help operate and grow the Goodman Lemonade program.
