After working so diligently to help Emmy Barr with her business, the students wondered what she had won in the contest. So, when Emmy and her mom came to pick up the money from the caramel we had sold for her, we got to ask her. Besides the money, she got help with her finances, webpage and some time learning from other women business owners.
Emmy also showed us the giant cheque she had received…
…and of course we had to finish with more hugs.
One of the students who sees the news on TV at home had the idea that we could also help Emmy by contacting Global News. They interviewed Emmy and came to our school to see us as well. Here is Global’s report.
This is what it looked like when they were interviewing us…
They also let us try out their microphone…
And see what their special camera could do.
You can vote for Emmy until February 17th.
Today we got to meet Emmy Barr! She came to our classroom and told us about what school was like for her and about making caramel. She even told us some of the ingredients in her grandma’s super secret caramel recipe. And she brought treats! Each of the children got a piece of caramel, a caramel covered apple and, to make sure those treats didn’t hurt their teeth, a toothbrush!
Before Emmy left, she gots lots of good by hugs from a class of happy children.
