Martine Chen’s 5th-grade entrepreneur class project — an online soap business — inspired her to become a marketing mogul. “I just loved it.
I just feel like I want to be in a marketing team too when I grow up because it was so exciting!” said Chen, a student at Miss Edgar’s and Miss Cramp’s, an all-girls school located in Westmount, Que.
But when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit and school got cancelled, so did the project. “I was a little bit sad but the upside of it is that we get to do something similar,” said Katherine Turcotte, another 5th grader at Miss Edgar’s and Miss Cramp’s.
Their teacher Casey Sherriffs built soap-making kits and delivered them to her students. “I was surprised and I was really happy,” Chen told Global News.
