Class 6 are excited and ready for today's Craft Fair! 🎉 Throughout this project, we've learned so much about sourcing materials, budgeting, and calculating profit margins. A huge thank you to all the parents and families who have supported us along the way—we couldn't have done it without you. We can't wait to share what we've created!
