Hershey Montessori School recently announced it has received a $10,000 gift from The Jerome T. Osborne and Georgeanne S. Osborne Charitable Trust to support its Huntsburg 7th-12th Grade Campus Production and Exchange program.
The Production and Exchange program, formerly known as Microeconomy, is a key component of Hershey’s Adolescent Community as it aligns with Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision of preparing students for economic independence, according to a news release.
Through real-world business endeavors at markets, events, and online, students develop creativity, problem-solving, and financial acumen. This funding will help to enhance students’ financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills through hands-on experiences in business management, product creation, and sales, according to the release.
“We deeply appreciate this generous support from The Osborne Charitable Trust,” said Paula Leigh-Doyle, head of school at Hershey Montessori School. “This gift will empower our students with real-world financial and entrepreneurial experiences.”
