This year’s Grade 6/7 Business Fair was a successful event that showcased students’ creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking. Students designed, produced, and marketed a wide range of handmade products, applying skills in problem-solving, communication, and thoughtful design.

This year the proceeds from the Business Fair will support Helping Families in Need, a local organization that has served the Lower Mainland for over 42 years. Supported by a small group of dedicated volunteers, this organization collects and distributes gently used household items to single mothers and fathers in need. Through partnerships with more than 85 community, government, and charitable organizations, Helping Families in Need provides direct support to more than 1,300 families each year.

Through their collective efforts, students from Division 1, 2, and 3 raised $725, all of which will be donated to Helping Families in Need. This experience allowed students to see how learning, when paired with empathy and social responsibility, can have a meaningful impact beyond the classroom.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our families and school community for their continued support. Together, we are helping students develop the skills, values, and a sense of civic responsibility that will guide them well beyond their years at Aubrey.
