From One to C.E.O. to Another C.E.O. Our very on 3rd grade student and C.E.O., Mr. Caden Harris, was recently featured in the *Champion Newspaper, *where he mentioned his school, D.A.T.E. Academy. Caden discusses his business and his book: *Daddy Did You Know*, where he provides opportunities for students to save their money and there is also a picture from our Career Day viewed.* Daddy Did You Know* teaches children about science, engineering, technology, learning and finances. In addition, Caden also entered a business pitching competition, similar to Shark Tank last week, where he won $25,000.00 for his business. Congratulations Caden and continue to focus on STEAM as you begin to change the world one step at a time.
