Mrs. Sherwood took a group of students to local businesses. The owners of Mocha Moose Coffee & Antiques and Chocolate Cafe shared their unique journeys to entrepreneurship with students, highlighting their passions and business philosophies. The Mocha Moose owner, a former nurse, created a welcoming space that blends coffee, conversation, and antiques, while the Chocolate Cafe owner, inspired by his travels and love for chocolate, emphasized work-life balance and following one's dreams. Students gained valuable insights into business operations, including financial management, real estate decisions, marketing, and collaboration within the community. Thank you to our local businesses for talking to our students!
