Our young entrepreneurs just completed their very world order custom hoodies for the South Hadley Public Schools Middle School Softball Team and this is only the beginning.

Our kids learn everything from designing on the computer, to sizing and cutting with the Cricut, to pressing the vinyl onto each hoodie by hand.

This project was more than hoodies. It was confidence building, skill building, and a true introduction to entrepreneurship. They experienced what it takes to take an idea from concept to completion and deliver a finished product a team is proud to wear.

First order completed and more impact to come!
