The 5th annual Ridgefield High School (RHS) Business Symposium last month drew attention to the remarkable opportunities available to Ridgefield High School students interested in business.
Over the semester, more than 150 business students participated in two authentic market research projects for local businesses, KydRides and the Ridgefield Thrift Shop. The students conducted research, evaluated the competition, developed surveys, and analyzed the data. The analysis led students to final recommendations for both businesses.
The Symposium ended with a Fashion Show, planned by students, which showcased student models wearing items from the Ridgefield Thrift Shop. Through the Fashion Show, students increased awareness about the benefits of thrifting to the local community and to the environment.
