Dear 6th Grade Parents & Students,

You may be wondering what Market Day is all about and what is appropriate for the children to sell. The following lists are a set of guidelines to help your children and you decide what is appropriate. Market Day is designed as part of our economic program to develop responsible students and future entrepreneurs.

Parents are encouraged to attend, but the students must run the businesses. Parents are to be shopping only; this will encourage the students to do the job for which Market Day was designed. We would like your child to gain as much independence in the process as we can. We will provide you with money to shop. You are required to return any left over money you have not used at the end of the sale.

The students are required to fill out the following simple form for teachers to approve. The idea must be described and submitted no later than the day before Market Day. The teacher has the right to approve or disapprove the project. Projects will not be denied if they are appropriate and completely homemade or hand crafted. If a student does not turn in their paper the day before Market Day and they show up with products that do not meet homemade approval, they will not be allowed to sell their product.

If at any time you have a question about a product your child wants to sell, please contact your homeroom teacher.

Thank you,
6th Grade
