And Teresa (“Resa” for short) is starting with the lemonade stand competition her teacher assigned to the class—but making it a success is going to be a lot harder than Resa thinks. The prize: line-skipping tickets to Adventure Central. The competition: Val, Resa's middle school nemesis. And the biggest obstacle to success: Resa's own teammates. Harriet is the class clown, Amelia is the new girl who thinks she knows best, and Didi is Resa's steadfast friend—who doesn't know the first thing about making or selling lemonade. The four of them quickly realize that the recipe for success is tough to perfect—but listening to each other is the first step. And making new friends might be the most important one... The back of each book in this middle-grade series features tips from the Startup Squad and an inspirational profile of a girl entrepreneur!

| business summer internships for high school students: The Leader in Me Stephen R. Covey, 2012-12-11 Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well. |

| business summer internships for high school students: Small business workforce development consortia provide needed services. , 2001 In each of the four communities we visited, consortia were formed in response to individual community economic and workforce development needs. In some locations, these needs were identified and examined through formal studies on the community's workforce conditions and future economic challenges. For example, in Charlotte, North Carolina, business leaders working with other community organizations sought to identify strategies to continue the business growth of the area while exploring potential weaknesses in the local economy. In these communities, local public and private organizations joined together to address existing and emerging workforce development Issues. Consortia varied somewhat in membership and activities according to their area's needs and resources but were characterized by a strong business focus. Consortia were typically lead by one or two key organizations, such as the chamber of commerce and community college. Other consortia members often included local school districts, workforce investment boards, business and trade associations, and unions. In three of the four locations we visited, officials from consortia organizations had established intermediary entities to help link all consortium organizations and to act as a broker or provider of services. |
