Lake Shake Winner

And the winner of LakeShake is...Tristan Berzins!

Round 6 had the students going Chick-fil-A's corporate headquarters in Atlanta and present a new potential restaurant that could be franchised. They are focusing on the culture of the restaurant, a marketing ploy, characteristics of their staff, and of course, a sample menu.

Many, many thanks to Mr. Thompson, the 5th grade team, community and parent volunteers, and the LCEU staff and students.
