❤️ The "Cherokee Power Pack" took home 1st place in the 8th grade division at the Co-Opreneur competition today! 👏👏Congratulations to Aubree, Montana, Case & Colton!! Thank you to Mr Pruett for taking our students to the contest today! This morning students from across the state watched presentations about co-ops and entrepreneurship and then were given a need that a co-op could fill. Students developed a business plan to solve the problem and then presented that plan to a panel of judges. Co-Opreneur Day is designed to develop and explore business development, STEM, economic, leadership, and entrepreneurship skills. This program is hosted in cooperation with the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education and the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives.
