We were happy to have a real life entrepreneur stop by our classroom last week Friday! Rachel (Stalter) Aupperle is a Middlebury native who now lives in Upland, IN. Her grandfather began and still owns Stalter Glass north of downtown. She shared about her personal business endeavors as a photographer and artist. Currently, she is selling prints of her original artwork depicting the great state of Indiana and its counties. A poster-sized print has been added to our own classroom decor!
She told us that every business begins with an idea, and an entrepreneur is someone whose idea becomes their own business. The students asked all sorts of great questions about Mrs. Aupperle's business. In particular, they asked her for tips related to advertising. Her responses will help them to prepare for their store in the Eagle Market!
