On Thursday, December 1, 2011 Mrs. N. Hawthorne and Mrs. M. Algeria escorted ten Freeport High School business education students to Adelphi University where they participated in a business conference. The students were among more than 200 chosen to participate from schools throughout Long Island. Teams consisting of students from different schools were each presented with a case study. Each team was assigned the task of developing a business plan, using the four P's of marketing: Product, Price, Placement, and Promotion, to create a product that would compete with the Amazon Kindle. Each team was allocated five minutes to present their marketing strategy to the judges. After all the teams had completed their presentations, three teams were selected to present to the entire group. One Freeport High School student, Alex Robb, was a member of one of the three winning teams. This was a great learning experience for all who participated. Congratulations to all who attended:
