As the holiday season approaches, the
students of the Land of Lincoln CEO are bringing a touch of
sweetness to the community with their decorated and festive candy
cane reindeer, named “Candy CaneDeer.”

This
entrepreneurial class is not only spreading holiday cheer but also
gaining valuable business experience.
The candy canes, crafted by the high school students, are a part of
the CEO class’s curriculum of executing a class business. The
students learn valuable business skills in communication, marketing,
finances, and management during this process. The money earned from
selling the Candy CaneDeer will be the startup capital for the
students’ personal businesses, which will be completed in the
Spring.
The class has been hard at work crafting the candy
canes. During this class, the students have visited local businesses
to learn about their practices and how they can incorporate them
into their group business. Last Friday, they walked around the
square pitching their product to businesses and raising capital.
