Hosted by the Mattos PTA | First Week of December (Date TBD)

We're launching a brand-new tradition—and it's all about creativity, community, and kid-powered magic! The Winter Carnival is your chance to celebrate the season with fun, food, and 50+ amazing kid-run businesses.

Calling All Young Entrepreneurs!

All Mattos students are invited to submit a proposal for their own mini business. Whether you love crafting, building, designing, or helping others—this is your moment to shine!

💡 How to Come Up with Ideas: First, think about a product or service you can create, sell, or demonstrate. Ideas should be based on your hobbies—are you great at crafting, building, art, or games? Turn that talent into a business!

Need Ideas? Consider concepts like:

• Tote-ally You: A station to design-your-own canvas totes.

• Kindness Cards & Gifts: Handmade cards or small gifts with positive messages.

• STEAM Lab Kits: Pre-packed science or art kits for kids to take home.

Rewards for Every Participant!

This is a real-world learning experience, and every student who takes the leap deserves recognition! ALL ENTREPRENEURS will receive a medal and a certificate of entrepreneurship from the PTA!

Key Guidelines and Rules:

• Who Can Participate? Individual students or small teams (3 max per booth).

• Submit a Proposal: https://forms.gle/myLy67x8cbJFu3g49

• Proposal Deadline: All proposals must be submitted by November 3rd.

• Selection: Spots are limited to 50 businesses. We will review all proposals, and selected businesses will be notified by November 7th.

• Event Timing: The carnival and fair will be hosted outside of school hours - likely in the evening or on a weekend.

• Booth Fee: If selected, your business will pay a $30 booth fee to help cover event costs.

• Adult Supervision is Required: An adult/parent must be assisting at your booth for setup, during the event, and for clean-up.

• No Food Sales: Kid-run food businesses are not allowed unless the child has a valid food permit. 

Booth Setup and Conduct:

You will be provided with 1 table and 2 chairs. No electrical outlets will be available. 

• Decorations: Get Creative! Decorations are highly encouraged. Students should design their own eye-catching banners, signs, and price tags to make your booth appealing.

• Selling & Pricing: Develop a clear and affordable pricing strategy. You are responsible for handling your money, so prepare sufficient change (coins and small bills) if accepting cash. Digital payment options are permitted if feasible.

• Professionalism: Be ready to pitch your product and maintain a polite, professional, and engaging demeanor. Your booth must be staffed at all times.

• Respect & Cleanliness: No shouting or aggressive selling. Do not sell sharp objects, real money-making schemes, or anything that violates school policy. After the event, you must take down your setup and leave your area completely clean.

Tip for Success: Remember, it's about learning how to plan, market, and communicate. Have fun and be proud of your effort!

Warmly,

Mabel Mattos Elementary PTA
