    On January 20 Delia Junior High students belonging to the Entrepreneurship Program decided to have a carnival to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House.
    Delia teachers Bailey Almberg and Ellen Vanderkolk introduced the program through the Career Technology Foundation.
    The students held the tropical themed carnival that was attended by over 100 people from the community and area. They raised $1200 for the charity and Almberg said, “It was awesome.”
    This is the first time that this type of course was offered at Delia School and the students have been working on this project since September.
    ”This is a real life skill and the students were very excited,” said Almberg. She further explained, “It was 100% student driven. The students had to fill out a fictitious loan application for the funding for the carnival, which was sent to Mountain View Credit Union for review. The students prepared budgets, business plans, figured out the cost of goods and calculated the profit margins.     
     The students were also responsible for all the shopping, decorating and cooking.”
 Students partnered with Drumheller McDonalds restaurant which supplied the carnival with refreshments and prizes.
