The Holiday Market is an opportunity for students to learn about sales and marketing skills while earning money too! Over the next few weeks as the countdown to the holidays begins, the AH Parents’ Association is encouraging students to find their entrepreneurial self within by either working with a team of fellow students or as a solo-run business producing fun items to sell at the December 9, Holiday Market. The students keep all the proceeds from the sale of their items. 

Table registration and information forms for Intermediate and Upper School students are now available.  The deadline has been extended to Tuesday, November 29.
