"In these times of
economic uncertainty, the E4D
program is more necessary than
ever. During this program,
students become more aware of
entrepreneurship and the work
that must go into running small
and large businesses. They
experience the organization,
accounting, and production of a
product and also realize the
importance of quality work and
cooperation. They also
learn budgeting, borrowing, and
importance of the banking system
which may help them understand
budgets at home and see the
importance of the family working
together,"
-Ellen Grady-Manns, 5th grade
teacher from Riceville
