Les Petits Entrepreneurs (LPE) is a collective of kid-driven (parent-supported) boutiques that lets kids experience what running a business is like. The kids pitch their products to the LPE committee for approval. Once approved, they create their business name, design their brand logo, make a collection, price, package, display & sell their creations at Fête Française. Our mission is to plant the seed of Entrepreneurialism in our children, encouraging them to sprout their own company.
Twenty-five percent of sales go back to EB to cover expenses for their booth and as part of the LPE initiative, which helps make purchases for our students. Past initiatives have paid for the Fabian Hall vegetable garden, the CNC router for the STEM lab, and a portion of the EB Recycling Program. This year, we are excited to welcome businesses selling bath products, plants, clothing, art, jewelry, and candy.
Come out and support our young entrepreneurs!
This wonderful program is now embedded in the fabric of the 4th grade curriculum under the leadership of EB teacher Ms. Elizabeth Robinson and other 4th grade parent volunteers.
